"Where are the Martians?" "Who are the Martians?" "Where do we go from here?" These are the questions that haunt Alex Smith as Globe prepares to invade the planet Mars. Commencing twelve years following the action in Invasion!, this second volume level in Reginald's War of Two Worlds trilogy moves from California to the arid, frigid, unidentified, and ultimately unknowable gets to of the Red Entire world. With his interactions with the Martians, particular with 'Big Guy', becoming increasingly frequent, intricate, and perplexing, Smith locates himself part-prisoner, part-guest, and part-guinea pig in his incessant attempts to comprehend and connect. The technical problems of mounting military actions, transporting personnel across vast ranges of space, and coping with the Martian risk intertwine with the intensely personal and private concerns of Smith as observer, commentator, and participant, producing a history that intrigues on multiple levels. Broadening far beyond Wells's original idea in The War of the Worlds, and reminiscent of Stanley Weinbaum's 1934 masterpiece, "A Martian Odyssey", without having to be derivative, Operation Crimson Surprise again and again confronts the listener with the realities of life on Mars in the form of panoramas, artifacts, and repercussions of action up against the natives - without ever before truly discovering hints as to their so this means. The failure to comprehend anything the Martians are and do frustrates both Smith as narrator and the listener, impelling the storyplot onward by keeping out the desire of someday unraveling the mysteries, interpreting the communications, and penetrating the enigmas of life...both earthly and alien.
