Writing
[edit | edit source]Mark Clapham explained, "Lance [Parkin] asked me [to co-write it]. He wanted to write for the Benny range, but didn't want to write a whole one. I had this murder plot I wanted to do, and he wanted to write a book about Mars."[2]
Plot
[edit | edit source]The novel is set on Mars and draws on previous depictions of the planet in the New Adventures.
