Dell Books 1952. Cyril Judd's science fiction novel Outpost Mars:
Mars was no paradise. But to Dr. Tony Hellman, it meant a second chance for man -
and to Hugo Brenner it meant a world to plunder. Tony was the leading member of
Sun Lake Colony, a band of frontier-extending Earth people -- intrepid space
pioneers. Brenner was the planet's most powerful magnate, an operator who vast
wealth was based on Earthmen's tragic addiction to the vicious drug, marcaine.
When Brenner accused the Sun Lakers of stealing a hundred kilograms of the
Martian drug, the colony was threatened with extermination unless the thief was
found and the marcaine returned. Tony and his fellow colonists saw their second
chance fading. Brenner's success would mean the end of their better world. Could
the struggling colony survive the assaults of entrenched greed and persecution?
The answer makes an absorbing science-fiction novel, one that has depth as well
as action, human warmth as well as suspense and excitement.
