Echo Round His Bones

It all started when Captain Nathan Hansard of "A" Artillery Company, Camp Jackson/Mars Command Post was sent to Mars. A fault in the instantaneous transmission of matter transmitter created two of him: one went to Mars as scheduled, while a "ghost" stayed on Earth in a strange world of secondary matter, walking through steel vaults and swimming in the concrete foundations of buildings. The original Hansard carried orders for the total nuclear arsenal of Camp Jackson/Mars to be unleashed on the enemy, so precipitating Earth's nuclear holocaust. Something had to be done - and fast.

Could Hansard save the world? Could his ghost?
