Description
A soldier. A slave. A conqueror. In the year 2137 the world stands on the brink of ruin. Pollution, war and overpopulation have darkened the skies, photosynthesis has begun to fail and most of the Earth's twenty billion souls face starvation and death. The only hope for survival are the fertile fields of Mars. In the last stages of a Terra-forming effort, vast swaths of the red planet are now turning green and preparations are underway to feed those left back on the home world. But to the leaders of the Cartel--a conglomeration of the world's most powerful families--using Mars to feed the overpopulated hordes of the Earth is a waste of resources. They have different plan--take Mars for themselves and watch Earth self-destruct from afar. Standing in their way is the idealistic President of the United World Government and unquestioned leader of the World Military Forces, Jackson Collins, who believes that humanity must rise or fall as one. As the Cartel plot their coup d'état, the President's son, James returns home from his latest military deployment. After spending half his life at war, James is disillusioned, despondent and openly wondering if humanity is even worth saving. It's a question he'll be forced to answer, as the world begins to tear itself apart and he ends up caught between the titanic forces of his father's iron will, the Cartel's insatiable greed, and the vengeful wrath of a dying planet.
