On Mars, in the distant future, the princess Haydn's arranged marriage cannot save her beloved Republic. Her arch-enemy, the warrior-woman Frane, seeks to make herself Queen while Haydn--the legitimate heir-- must flee for her life.
A reluctant symbol for those who would restore the monarchy, Haydn is too young and unprepared to assume the throne--but determined to become a great Queen. With a bounty on her head, she will make a perilous journey to the realization that--in order to save her world-- she must sacrifice all that she holds dear.

"Haydn of Mars is the cat's pajamas...reads as if Edgar Rice Burroughs had been born in 1973 instead of 1873, and just begun writing today."
-- Science Fiction Weekly
"Fabulous...an enthralling Martian science fiction tale."
-- Midwest Book Review
"Fans of fantasy and SF alike will appreciate this genre-bending space adventure."
--Romantic Tiimes
"Sarrantonio’s colorful ‘distant future’ is similar to Bradbury’s Martian Chronicles or Burroughs’ Barsoom."

When amateur astronomer Jason Blake and his son are out star-gazing one night, thousands of meteors suddenly fill the sky. Some of them fall nearby, but when Jason and Ritchie go to investigate, they are attacked by a werewolf-like creature, and Ritchie is injured. This is a novel of relationships, of apocalyptic adventure, and very personal sacrifice. Fast-paced and gaining speed with each page, Moonbane is a poetic novel that works on a number of unexpected levels, running the gamut from taut suspense to outright mayhem.
Praise for Moonbane
"A novel with real style, informed by a wry and sometimes chilling point of view. Moonbane is not quite like anything you've read before!" — Ed Gorman, author of Rough Cut
"Al Sarrantonio's Moonbane is a stylish B-movie of a novel. Fast paced and poetic, and scary in the old-fashioned sense of such fine B-chillers as The Cat People and I Walked With a Zombie." — Joe R. Lansdale
This book is available in MOBI (Kindle) EPUB (Sony / Nook) PDF (Adobe) and PRC (Mobipocket) editions. Please choose your preference from the drop-down menu below before proceeding to checkout.
