The brand new series of Scarlet Traces continues the story of HG Wells' classic SF The War of the Worlds, taking the story back to Mars.

But an aging Robert Autumn knows there is more to this war than the propganda suggests. He sends journalist Charlotte Hemmingway undercover to Mars in order to discover the truth.
