The book presents a narrative set on Mars, exploring themes of survival and conflict as it follows a patrolman named Sisko Rolf. The story revolves around his adventures in a hidden network of caverns, highlighting the challenges of life on a dying Mars and the fight to restore its former vitality.

Surrounded by danger and facing the perils of the Martian landscape, Rolf encounters a unique group of inhabitants, including the "Hairy People" and "Furry Ones," along with a fierce female named Altha.
