High Moon — Diane Duane

RED DAWN RISING

THEY DREAM OF WORLD CONQUEST: The
Red Dawn--a radical band of space outlaws dedicated to destruction.

THEY HOLD THE TOOL OF CHAOS: A decoder prototype stolen from the Solar Patrol--rendering the security apparatus of the elite interplanetary peacekeeping force ineffective. Now, unless Rangers Joss O'Bannion and Evan Glyndower can recover the device, their home world, Mars, is doomed.

THEY WAIT IN TOMBSTONE: A violent and lawless "Wild West" ghost town reborn on the dark side of the red planet--drawing O'Bannion and Glyndower, outmanned and outgunned, into a high-powered shootout that threatens to put Star Wars to shame.
