But now, as humanity's dream of a new world falters in the wake of a failed revolution, those first colonists have scattered or died. The Martian surface is being cultivated and terraformed to suit Man's needs - frozen lakes are forming, lichen is growing, the atmosphere is slowly becoming breathable. And Earth's transnational corporations have realized that Mars can be owned, and set about plundering the planet for profit. Below ground, the first generation of children born on Mars are among the rebels in hiding. They will be joined by the survivors of the original settlers - Maya Toitovna, Simon Frasier and Sax Russell - as they attempt to wrest control for Mars's future from the grip of the corporations.
