They went to Mars to build humanity's future. What they found could change everything; if the truth survives.

Beneath the planet's frozen crust, the Ares VI team discovered more than dust and rock. They found life; fragile, thriving, and unlike anything on Earth. But as their findings threatened to upend corporate interests and political agendas, a silent war began. Data was buried, careers destroyed, and the scientists themselves became targets in a campaign to erase the discovery forever.

Now, as whispers of the truth ignite a global movement, Dr. Aris Thorne, Lena Hanson, and journalist Sarah Chen must risk everything to protect the evidence; and force the world to confront the cost of humanity's ambitions beyond Earth. From the shadowy corridors of power to the windswept plains of Mars, their struggle will determine whether humanity's reach for the stars becomes an act of stewardship... or another story of greed, silence, and ruin.
