In the Courts of the Crimson KingsBy: S.M. Stirling
The acclaimed author of The Sky People returns to its parallel worlds in this stunning portrait of Mars. While hominids on Venus remain primitive creatures in the far future setting of this world, Earthlings can't brag much. When we were still primordial ooze, our Martian cousins had mysterious, vast, sophisticated civilizations. Terran (human) archaeologist Jeremy Wainman stands poised to explore the secrets of Mars' ancient ruins at last; Martian mercenary Teyud Zha-Zhalt, hired as his guide, has an agenda as deeply buried and powerful as the lost city they seek. If you love atmospheric, classic SF adventures like Edgar Rice Burroughs' Barsoom series (or H.P. Lovecraft's short stories about creepy elder-gods-from-space), In the Court of the Crimson Kings is a must-read.
