Whilst most of the indigenous population are welcoming of their alien visitors, there are those who consider their arrival a threat. Resentment is growing in certain quarters; stoked by a cash-strapped and already overly committed Reichstag, for the Martians are pacifists and refuse to take up arms, even for the Empire that has given them sanctuary. Meanwhile; unbeknownst to all but a select few, Humans have arrived on Mars! Having appropriated a Martian rocket (inadvertently killing the German leader in the process), Space Captain Gordon Periwinkle and Professor Hamble Blaise have travelled to the red planet in search of a fabled Martian scientist, who; if she exists at all, may (or may not) hold the secret to unravelling time and setting both worlds back on their proper courses…
