The Outlaws of Mars
When Captain Jerry Morgan, expert swordsman, left the American Army, his scientist uncle, Dr. Richard Morgan, had no difficulty in persuading the adventurous young man to take a trip to Mars in a space ship, directed by mental telepathy. Dr. Morgan had been in mental contact with a Martian scientist, Lal Vak.
Jerry arrived in Raliad, largest city on Mars and capital of the Kalsivar empire. He is arrested as a spy, but Princess Junia, daughter of Numin Vil, the emperor, intercedes on his behalf.
Manith Zovil, prince of a neighboring empire, kills Shiev Zovil, Junia's brother, in self-defense, but Jerry is accused of the killing and is condemned to death!
Jerry soon finds himself, with the aid of Nisha Novil, an outlaw on Mars!
