YA
Durango and his crew of teenage bounty hunters travel to Mars's South Pole to defend poor miners against savage cannibals. As Durango confronts his nemeses, he also works through feelings about his father and juggles the romantic overtures of several different girls. Witty dialogue, fast-paced action, and a futuristic setting, along with elements of romance and humor, guarantee broad appeal.
