It is Christmas vacation and the Psy family along with Whips friends Bobi and Pition, head up to Canada; but it is a scam run by a Russian dynasty of white tigers, the Satvrinskis, who kidnap Whips kid sister Sarah and try to make her as smart as she is expected to be by running a ceremony of sacrifice. It is up to Whip and his pals, along with a walrus named Fentruck, to save the day.
Whip is back for a great exciting adventure. He and his gang are off to Mars. They do research and investigation like any astronaut would do. They enter an airtight town visiting a market and face great challenges such as fighting ferocious Martian monsters.
The author's grandfather, Aretas Akers-Douglas (1857-1926) was in his day called "The Prince of Whips". Starting in 1880 as a confederate of the brilliant but unorthodox Lord Randolph Churchill, he graduated in record time to the position of chief dispenser of the official Conservative party line and held it for ten exceptionally arduous years at the height of the Home Rule controversy with its complications, Liberal unionism, parliamentary sabotage and obstruction. This position was rendered all the more responsible through the distaste felt by the two great leaders whom he served—Lord Salisbury and A.J. Balfour—for the details of party management; and even after he had been moved to another office his advice continued to be sought on all questions relating to the party's domestic affairs. Out of the intimate and informal correspondence received in these capacities Lord Chilston has made an entertaining political biography, unravelling a most complex period of parliamentary history and revealing much about Lord Salisbury, Lord Randolph Churchill, Joseph Chamberlain, A.J. Balfour and lesser figures, like the loyal and endearing W.H. Smith, Walter Long and Richard Middleton.
