Interior text

The secret of the Martian messiahs

Like a deadly cancer, the Weed was engulfing the Earth, shutting out the sun and rendering the world totally unfit for other life.

First, the suffocating mists came, and then the chaos. Even martial law could not stem the tide of savagery overwhelming all of mankind's civilized efforts.

Man's only hope lay on Mars, where a colony of the world's best scientific minds was working on a project to save the human race. But there wasn't much time ... for Earth was teetering on the edge of oblivion ... and Mars would be the next to go.
