Gerald Vance: Monsoons of Death
Ward Harrison got himself into a barrel of trouble when he accepted a job at the Martian Observation Station. There were fearful "things" on Mars....

He was a young lieutenant in the space force, sent to do a job far below his training and ability, to help chart the weather patterns on Mars as helper to an old man. It galled him to listen to the craven fool who whimpered about the 'things' out there in the storms and monsoons. He would show him how to deal with these imaginary beings who were keeping him from doing his job. Oh yes, he would show him what a real man and officer could do.!!!!
