The Chessmen of Mars

This is the fifth audiobook in the "Mars Series," set on the planet Mars, where the age-old game of jetan is transformed into deadly combat involving criminals, slaves, and warriors fighting for fame and power. In the Martian city of Manator, these fierce battles determine control over territories and people, including the prize of Tara, Princess of Helium. The story offers a vivid account of this brutal contest, set against a richly imagined Martian civilization.
