Perhaps he was. Someone has been here. A spaceship sits half-buried under the red dust and heavy boulders. Nearby, there's a tunnel door.
Richard Orme and his crew, dragged into the tunnel by Martians, enter a strange, subterranean world, a world where Martians live in caverns in a hollowed-out Mars, a world where Martians pay homage to a sunlike globe -- floating high above their cities of the interior. Orme thought they were sun worshippers. But there is a man who dwells within the flaming orb. And these people call him "Jesus".
And the man they called "Jesus" would go back to Earth. He would be labeled "the Anti-Christ". And Richard Orme asked himself, Would history repeat itself... once more?
