More about the book

Using a special transmitter, Earth scientist Michael Kane ventures into the fantastic past of the red planet Mars. Accompanied by his loyal friend, the Blue Giant Hool Haji, he departs from the legendary city of Varnal in an airship to explore the underground tombs of the long-extinct Yakshi. However, during a stop in the city of Cend-Arnrid, he learns of a terrible plague threatening to spread across the planet. The Green Death strips humans of their humanity, turning them into soulless machines. In their quest for an effective antidote, Michael Kane and Hool Haji are swept to foreign shores, encountering the monstrous rulers of the depths. This novel serves as the crowning conclusion to Michael Moorcock's Mars Trilogy, following in the footsteps of the renowned creator of Tarzan, Edgar Rice Burroughs, who authored numerous utopian and fantastical novels.
