"Mars Confidential" by Howard Browne is a humorous science fiction story that uses satire to explore themes of corruption and exploitation. It is set on Mars, where Earthly Mafia members land hoping to build a criminal empire. These gangsters find a planet full of gems and gold, but also inhabited by innocent Martians. The Mafia takes advantage of the Martians by introducing them to sugar, immediately turning it into a profitable enterprise and establishing themselves in the process. This tale shows the gap between the dream of a new world and the reality of repeating earthly mistakes in space.
