The biggest mountain on any planet is the prize in this epic adventure that spans continents and worlds. Justin Hardy is a normal, small town guy trying to build a career as a photographer. Mike Simpson is a world class mountaineer looking for adventure, romance, and his next big climb. When they join forces and set their sights on Mars' highest mountain, Olympus Mons, they get a lot more adventure than they bargain for. Mountain disasters, brawls in orbit, radiation storms, and alien geology challenge the team of four as they race to reach their summit ahead of a team of Russians set on bagging the first ascent before them. But surprises await beneath the mountain that make a simple first ascent, even the biggest in history, seem secondary. Science fiction and Mountain tale merge in this grand adventure that drinks, fights and climbs it's way across three worlds.

The Martian Mountaineers return to the Red Planet in search of wonders in this exciting new tale. Finding them triggers an international incident that verges on all out war. The digitized mind of an alien is their only friend and only hope as they find themselves embroiled in the first war in space. A handful of climbers and scientists must hold off an invading army with little to help them but their new alien ally and the advice of a long dead Chinese General. The barren surface of Mars becomes a battleground for a cadre of reluctant warriors determined to keep Earthshaking discoveries out of the wrong hands.
