The child of one of the
oldest, most revered family-corporate units on colonized Mars, Casseia
Majumdar has spent her entire life in the tunnels that run beneath the
surface of her homeworld. As a young college student in 2171, the
fifty-third year of the Martian settlement, she experiences a profound
political awakening, and her embrace of radical activism only
intensifies following a failed diplomatic mission to Earth.
As
she rises up through the political ranks back on Mars—with tensions
increasing between an oppressive “Mother Earth” and her rebellious “Red
Rabbit” children—Casseia soon realizes that an enlightened ideology
alone will not save her planet and its people.
But it is a
staggering scientific discovery by Martian physicist Charles
Franklin—Casseia’s mentor and former lover—that will ultimately reveal
the depths of the perfidy of the “Terries,” forcing an imperiled
civilization to alter forever the map of the universe.
