<b>From the back cover of the Pocket Books first paperback printing:</b> "The Sands of Mars is ... the story of Martin Gibson, writer of interplanetary novels, a guy who knows all the answers to space flight... at least <i>in theory</i>. Then Gibson actually travels on the maiden voyage of the new passenger spaceship to Mars. What he finds there... love, danger, adventure... comes with as much shock to him as it will to you and to every reader who wonders at the startling mysteries of the universe!"
