Down to a Sunless Sea
Brant's life had been hard after the courts had sent him to the penal
colony at Trivium Charontis on Mars. Since working his way to freedom,
he had run guns to the High Clan princes, sold them liquor and
forbidden tobacco, and peddled narcotics to the soft, timid Earthsider
clerks. He had stolen, he had cheated at cards, he had killed a man
more than once...
Now fleeing from justice across the ancient
dust-oceans of Mars he had no way of knowing that he was running toward
the most fantastic adventure any man had ever lived – toward refuge more
absolute than any man had ever dreamed of – by the banks of secret
rivers, in caverns yet unmeasured by man, on the shore of a sea the sun
had never seen!
