Earth is dying. Not in decades. Not in centuries. Now. With no future left on their home planet, humanity turns to its last hope: Mars. A small crew is sent to explore, survive… and prepare the way for those who might follow. But Mars is not the dead world they expected. Beneath its surface, something waits.
