The author of the excellent Sheik of Mars is back with a new fantastical adventure into the depths of faerie.

Peter Briton’s father, John, has gone missing and Peter knows what took him.

One by one, Peter’s siblings are disappearing into the fairy-haunted woods. Something sinister is calling them to the court of the Elven King. Peter feels the call himself.

The children have struggled ever since their mother died in childbirth, and Peter has held the family together… until now. As his brothers and sisters vanish one by one, he knows that soon, he too shall submit to the call and follow. He must find his father, save his family and bring them all safely home. If he cannot, they will be playthings of the Elves forever.

Sheik of Mars

Ben Wheeler’s outstanding debut novel will released by Superversive Press on June 1st, but is now available for preorder. The first part was serialized in Astounding Frontiers magazine as “In the Seraglio of the Sheik of Mars” and was one of the most popular stories among readers and critics. Combining the lyrical qualities and atmosphere of 1001 Nights with the action and spectacle of A Princess of Mars to produce a truly unique and engaging story in the pulp tradition. You’re in for a treat with this one, and I thoroughly enjoyed editing it (as well as making the above video).
