English Summary/英文概要：

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 16歲的杜蘭戈是傭兵團領袖，他和旗下的ㄧ群傭兵主要靠著在火星上從事危險任務賺取微薄佣金謀生。
他們最新接受的任務是：保護南極礦工的寶藏，免受Dræu食人團的獵殺。
在每天槍林彈雨的作戰中，杜蘭戈旗下主要有兩名女性協助他領導。而其中杜蘭戈與維埃娜對彼此都擁有特別的情愫，但兩人卻不願意誠實承認。
蜜則是團隊裡面另ㄧ位核心人物，也是杜蘭戈之前的首領，不過她現在已經被植入在杜蘭戈的腦中，化身成為人工智慧。
在這本高速充滿動作場景的科幻故事中，杜蘭戈與蜜之間的對話是全書精華，但整部小說的對話其實都帶著非常高段的諷刺詼諧。而隨著故事發展，讀者將發現閱讀的速度越來越慢，因為越來越多角色人物出現，一直到高潮迭起的故事結尾。讓人不禁期盼還有下ㄧ本，能和這些角色再次相會。(Kate Cheng)

*Starred Review* Durango is the 16-year-old chief of a team of mercenaries who eke out a living on Mars by earning meager commissions for their dangerous work. Their current job, and the main thrust of this high-energy, action-filled, science-fiction romp, is to protect South Pole miners from the Dræu, a cannibalistic group who are after the miners’ treasure. Two feisty women help Durango lead. Second-in-command Vienne and Durango care more for each other than either wants to admit, although there is little time for romance amid all the flying bullets and detonating bombs. Mimi, the other central woman and Durango’s former chief, is now implanted in his brain as an artificial intelligence. The repartee between Durango and Mimi is particularly brilliant, but throughout the novel, the dialogue crackles with expertly delivered sarcastic wit and venom. If intelligent sophomoric humor exists, Gill is the master at creating it. The intriguing dystopian setting is a Mars purposely polluted by immigrants from Earth. Readers will have a hard time turning the pages fast enough as the body count rises to the climactic, satisfying ending, which will leave new fans hopeful for more adventures. Grades 8-11.---Cindy Dobrez, From Booklist
