Queen of the Martian Catacombs: Planet Stories, Summer '49 by Leigh Brackett
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
Leigh Brackett’s John Eric Stark's first appearance is a science fantasy/ Sword and Sorcery set on Mars. Stark is a wanted man who will be given clemency if he can avert a war that would turn Mars into a blood bath.
Much like the Seas Kings of Mars it’s a rousing adventure story that races to a climatic conclusion. This was my first time with John Stark I’m glad that Brackett wrote more about the native Mercurian, whose skin was burned black by the sun a rouge who is always for the native.
