È ver, son forte.¿Per la via sassosa Lasciai brandelli d'anima e di fede; Pur con superbo piede Salgo ancor verso l'alba luminosa. Offersi il petto a tutte le ferite, I più foschi e implacati odii sfidai; E ai torturanti guai Opposi l'energia di cento vite. Dolorando non mossi un sol lamento Nulla piega il mio fronte e il mio pensiero. Io sono forte, è vero, Io son la quercia che non crolla al vento

Une mystérieuse bande sévit et dévalise les milliardaires, avec une audace inouïe. Robert d'Entraygues, ruiné par la faillite de la société à laquelle il avait confié sa fortune, se voit proposer par le «Grand Assureur», Jonathan Farenheit, moyennant un salaire fort intéressant, de traquer secrètement ces insaisissables bandits. Il le fera en collaboration avec l'inspecteur Achille Durant, grand amateur d'occultisme, chargé de cette affaire... Disons le honnêtement, ce roman n'est pas un des meilleurs de l'auteur. Mais il occupe une place à part par son hétérogénéité, par le curieux mélange des genres fantastique, voire occultisme, anticipation, policier, aventures qu'il recèle. À ce titre, ce roman de Georges Le Faure, dont la carrière a été exceptionnellement longue, apparaît comme le symbole de la transition entre l'ancienne génération, les «suiveurs» de Jules Verne, et la nouvelle littérature de genre qui s'épanouira pendant la deuxième moitié du XXe siècle.

The group fights its way off the Earth and departs for a temporary stay on Mars, even though the hostile U.N. has an outpost on Mars.
