The shopkeepers, and some of the less unfortunate people there, had protested loud enough to reach clear back to Earth. Marsport had hired a man from Earth to come in and act as chief of the section. Captain Murdoch was an unknown factor, and now was asking for more men. The pressure was enough to get them for him.
Gordon reported for work with a sense of the bottom falling out, mixed with a vague relief.
"You're going to be busy," Murdoch announced shortly in the dilapidated building that had been hastily converted to a precinct house. "Damn it, you're men, not sharks. I've got a free hand, and we're going to run this the way we would on Earth. Your job is to protect the citizens here—and that means everyone not breaking the laws—whether you feel like it or not. No graft. The first man making a shakedown will get the same tr. . . Read More

Men and women are both outlaws spurred without second thought to fighting each other in the streets... but once marriage is forc
This was a fun, old-fashioned Martian adventure, about a corrupt government and police force and the agent and his friends who have to set things to rights. The Martian setting has a colonial-Australia-with-a-dome-over-it feel. The main female character is even named Sheila. Actually, she's the only

Very amusing pulp scifi.
Our hero gets shipped off earth to Mars with a "yellow ticket" meaning he can't return. He tries to make a life for himself in the super corrupt city of Marsport. He's not a squeeky clean good guy by any means.
The action is plentiful. The "love story" made me roll my eyes in
I was looking for what I call an "airplane book." That is, something that keeps your interest even as the person next to you is snoring, little kids are swinging from the armrests (true story) and is in fact so engrossing that the plane could be going down in flames and you would still be trying to
