Blood Red Sand

The year is 1954 and World War Two has been over for nearly a decade. After losing the war, the Nazis were exiled to Mars. The Nazis, with the help of Martian technology, are becoming a force again and something needs to be done to stop them. It is now up to Sergeant McCabe, Private Jenkins, and the rest of the Mars Expeditionary Force to win the war all over again. As they enter the Martian atmosphere, the battle for supremacy is on. Fortunately, with the help of the Black Visors, a special ops group, victory is at hand.

Blood Red Sand, Damien Larkin’s second novel, is a no-holds-barred, blood, guts, and gore, shoot ’em up action thriller. If you are a fan of 1950s space adventures, then you’ll enjoy Larkin’s writing style. This is not your English class novel. Larkin writes in a style reminiscent of the pulp science fiction novels. Unlike a lot of Mars exploration books and films out now, Larkin’s novel is more in the style of Edgar Rice Burroughs, only bloodier. This novel is as much fun as punching a Nazi on Mars could be.
