Fairman is a science fiction novel written during the mid-20th century. Set in a future where humanity has colonized Mars, the story explores the interactions between Terran settlers and the enigmatic Martians, particularly against the backdrop of Martian history and the remnants of their once-great civilization. The narrative centers around themes of coexistence, colonization, and the clash of cultures. The plot follows Rex Tate, an agent for Interplanetary Security, who is dispatched to Mars to investigate the mysterious disappearance of a Martologist's daughter, Margo Spencer, after her father, Professor Spencer, is found dead but seemingly preserved. As Rex delves deeper into the Martian territory, he learns of a brewing insurrection led by the Martian usurper Pandek, who seeks to reclaim power through violent rebellion against the Terrans. With the help of a young boy named Tommy Wilks, and other key figures, Rex must navigate through Martian politics, uncover hidden civilizations, and ultimately save those at risk of dying in a brutal ritual sacrifice. The climax reveals the complex nature of Martian society, emphasizing themes of loyalty, power, and the consequences of historical legacies.
