Known World Series Omnibus
This is not a serious story. Not in the sense of hard science facts and what we know. This is more fantastic. Instead of reaching into the future to what could be, I have reached into the past, into the times before people knew Mars was a dry, dead world with no air. Instead, it held giant, four-armed monsters and savages, where Venus was a lush jungle world under a constant barrage of rain, and where the outer planets were so massive their satellites held life foreign to humans in many ways. And beyond that, deep in space, the bug-eyed aliens and strange creatures existed that shocked, terrified, and entertained us. Won’t you come along for the ride? Inside you get: Crimson Planet- The tale of Tosh, a merchant cast out from his house and Bors, a barbarian from a forgotten tribe on Mars. Thrown together by Fate and a mysterious power, the two must work together to find The Crimson Planet. Space Ranger: Mars- Meet Rick Tavish, Space Ranger! He embarks on his first solo mission across the Solar System. His first stop, Mars. There he meets a beautiful and deadly Martian woman named Al’Kara. What awaits the two of them on the red planet? Witch Mountain- Bors, leaving behind his friend Tosh to embark on a quest alone, finds himself on Callisto. There he must make new allies, fight a witch of immense power, and survive the onslaught of rage that comes from the blade Soul of the Mother.
