The city of Tyros is attacked by a force from the Imidos planet; and the ruler, the Tyro, is old. Damar becomes Tyro during the war and struggles to find a way for the people of Tyros to survive. Some of his people escape into the desert, but he remains behind to be captured. Tyro and his aids are taken aboard an old space ship. When Tyros explodes, the Imido Commander has to protect himself with a creative story. He destroys those below on the planet and sends the captives off into unknown space locked in prison cells in their unmanned old extra freighter. Only a meteor shower's damage to the old ship allows them to escape from their cells, and from the old crippled ship caught in the planet's gravity. Only three manage to get down to the planet below, and only Tyro lives long enough to join a group of primitives. He becomes the first extraterrestrial.

Tyro: The First Extraterrestrial
On the simplest level, THE GUNS OF MARS is a rootin' tootin', shoot 'em up grand example of this oldest of sci-fi genres. But, scrape even a single cell off the outer layer of Martin Ingham's intriguing story of the colonization and terra-forming of Mars, our nearest planetary neighbour, and you'll discover a profound forward thinking essay on political revolution, the potential conflicts between science and government as we now know it, the economic and engineering trials of establishing a planetary colony, the ethical dilemmas related to the utilization of modern scientific technology and the ongoing propensity of even the best intentioned politicians to opt for politically expedient solutions to problematic moral issues. And, if you think about it, that's a lot of ground for a novel to cover in a modest 249 pages!
