The message from Carmen Vincent's mother wasn't possible. She died in the Mars base disaster two years ago.

But when government agents show up at Carmen's door, she realizes the message is no hoax. Someone is still trying to cover up the disaster and the reason why Earth abandoned its space program.

It's a race to discover the truth of what happened on Mars before Carmen loses her mother for a second time.

I.O. Adler's relentlessly entertaining space opera adventure channels the excitement of The Expanse and the Mass Effect games.
