Description

On the barren plains of Mars, Special Investigator Barry Williams patrols the night‑shrouded desert, where a ghostly white mist has already claimed several Earthmen. The chilling vapor rolls over the red sand, snuffing life with an eerie silence that has turned the frontier into a place of whispered superstitions. As the moons Phobos and Deimos wheel overhead, Barry waits, rifle in hand, for the next unseen horror to emerge.

Teaming up with the enigmatic Princess Deisanocta, he discovers that the mist may be more than a natural phenomenon—it could be an ancient Martian retribution long buried beneath the dunes. Their uneasy alliance pits them against both hostile colonists and a people whose own survival hinges on the secret they’re about to unleash. As the mist thickens and the desert night deepens, Barry must decide whether to confront the unknown or become another silent victim of the red planet’s hidden justice.
