Red Planet Blues

Red Planet Blues

Robert J. Sawyer, the author of such â€œrevelatory and thought-provokingâ€* novels as Triggers and The WWW Trilogy, presents a noir mystery expanded from his Hugo and Nebula Award-nominated novella â€œIdentity Theftâ€ and his Aurora Award-winning short story â€œBiding Time,â€ and set on a lawless Mars in a future where everything is cheap, and life is even cheaperâ€¦

Alex Lomax is the one and only private eye working the mean streets of New Klondike, the Martian frontier town that sprang up forty years ago after Simon Weingarten and Denny Oâ€™Reilly discovered fossils on the Red Planet. Back on Earth, where anything can be synthesized, the remains of alien life are the most valuable of all collectibles, so shiploads of desperate treasure hunters stampeded to Mars in the Great Martian Fossil Rush.

Trying to make an honest buck in a dishonest world, Lomax tracks down killers and kidnappers among the failed prospectors, corrupt cops, and a growing population of transfersâ€”lucky stiffs who, after striking paleontological gold, upload their minds into immortal android bodies. But when he uncovers clues to solving the decades-old murders of Weingarten and Oâ€™Reilly, along with a journal that may lead to their legendary mother lode of Martian fossils, God only knows what heâ€™ll dig up...
