Kirk risks life and limb in order to rescue his sister from Hades.

This is the fourth installment of The Kirk Rogers Series. Books one through three followed Kirk and his unlikely band of heroes on their adventures… and along the way, it helped some of them figure out who they are and where they belong in the universe. Kirk never dreamed that defeating the Illuminati would cause such calamity.

The plan seemed simple enough. Shoot all of the members with a specially designed gun that not only subdued them but also tagged them with a locator chip. Once they were tagged, the bad guys were automatically teleported away and delivered to the interior of Mars.

Unfortunately, some of his friends got caught in the crosshairs. Including his sister, Laura.

Hades isn’t the mythical place that everyone believed it to be. No, it was a mining colony that the Newtonians established long ago. The main export? Tetronium. The Newtonians used it in all their electronic components because it was lightweight and highly conductible. Unfortunately, no one wanted the lowly job, nor did any of them want to spend most of their time in such an awful environment. Especially since things got weird when oxygen was introduced. The interior of the red planet began to grow some wild, wonderful, and dangerous things. But someone had to do it. It was therefore decided that people who broke the law would be sentenced to serve their time in Hades. It wasn’t long before people were sent there for minor infractions and no one was ever released.

After thousands of years, the mining colony should have been empty. It seemed to be the perfect place to send the Illuminati until they could figure out who was good and who… well, wasn’t. But as misfortune would have it, when the Newtonians abandoned Atlantis in favor of the Earth below, they forgot about the prisoners and just left them to fend for themselves. There were cut off completely and would no longer received food or supplies in exchange for Tetronium. This caused the people to revolt. They destroyed the mining equipment and tried to overthrow the king and seize control of his supplies. But the King of the Underworld was by far the strongest telepath who ever lived. He had the ability to force a man to do his bidding. Seth Tartarus was the warden of Hades. That was such a small, unimpressive title. It didn’t take him long to appoint himself king.

He ruled over the people for thousands of years. No one knew exactly how the king managed to live so long, all they knew was he was an evil tyrant. Of course, as luck would have it, Laura ended up on his doorstep. Will her brother Kirk rescue her before she becomes the queen of Hades? Let’s find out! Thanks for listening!
