EMERGENT MARS: A Martian Sci-Fi Journey
FINALIST - 2024 CYGNUS AWARDS IN SCIENCE FICTION
EMBARK ON A BOLD NEW MARTIAN JOURNEY WHERE SCIENCE, POWER, AND HUMANITY COLLIDE.
In 2059, war-scarred reporter Ailia Bax lands on the stark, unforgiving Red Planet, hoping to escape her demons and start afresh with a seemingly routine journalistic assignment. Instead, she's quickly swept up in high-stakes interplanetary intrigue, as tensions between Mars and Earth careen towards breaking point.
In the handful of settlements scattered across Mars, brave humans and self-aware robots are working to expand humanity's horizons beyond Earth's old limits. Yet their quest is fraught with danger and teeters on a knife-edge. How far will Earth's power brokers go to reclaim control? Can the Martians mend internal conflicts before freedom slips away? And is anywhere safe, with a terrorist bomber stalking their fledgling society?
In this turbulent cauldron, Ailia will struggle to find her footing. She will be forced to choose sides, and as a distrusted outsider befriended only by a handful of eclectic Martians, she will need to make decisions and sacrifices that could alter the fate of a burgeoning world.
But right now, she doesn't know any of that. Right now, she doesn't realize she's been duped, and that the bomber ... and Mars itself ... might be trying to kill her.
ABOUT EMERGENT MARS:
"The Martian" meets "Red Mars" and "The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet" in this gripping, meticulously crafted near-future saga that captures the essence of classic science fiction. Blending adventure, political intrigue, and philosophical exploration, this slow-burn character-driven narrative delivers scientifically grounded speculation while celebrating humanity's potential to reinvent itself on a new world. Are you ready to take the plunge into a riveting journey across a planet that may one day soon, become our second home?
