"A Case of Sunburn" by Charles L. Fontenay is a science fiction tale set amidst a Martian rebellion against the powerful Mars Corporation. The rebels, led by Jonner, embark on a perilous mission to seize a G-boat and secure a spaceship called The Egg, crucial for enacting their top-secret Plan Blue. As they face danger, the rebels suspect a traitor within their ranks.
