Let's raise a round to Kage Baker.\" --Jack McDevitt, author of The Devil's EyeMary Griffith started her career on a colonized Mars in the twenty-fourth century as a xenobotanist for the British Arean Company. But when the company abandoned Mars in search of something more profitable, she had to find other work to support her three daughters. On a planet not yet fully terraformed, those who stayed are tenacious, outcasts--or criminals. Mary opens the Empress of Mars, the only bar on the planet. From an Italian heir turned space cowboy to a one-eyed heretic on the run to a con man, Mary collects a motley band of regulars--and when the BAC exerts pressure on the colony, her band of misfits must come together to stand up for the colonists, while the shadowy specter of the Company looms. A rollicking adventure in a Wild West frontier in space, The Empress of Mars is Kage Baker at the top of her game.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Pyr\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/30\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781645061380\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.64d","brand":"Kage Baker","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53458942427317,"sku":"9781645061380","price":20.36,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/9781645061380.jpg?v=1791297553","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/the-empress-of-mars-9781645061380","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
