Coerced in to leaving Earth for good, Nathan must discover the truth about his uncle and help his new-found friends by retrieving a lost document for the mysterious GAP organisation. A new faction, calling themselves Benimars, is rising up against the government of the City of Opportunity. Nathan finds help from a young woman whose desire is to see wounds healed on her world. It drives her to enter an unlikely alliance with this new migrant. Together they must stem the anger and find a solution before there is bloodshed.

Can one man make a difference? Plucked from his home on false charges and exiled to a barren world with little chance of survival, David Brennan and the people he meets on Mars must overcome all the challenges Mars can send them, and a few more sent from Earth. This trilogy tracks the lives of the early pioneers and their children on Mars as they face their fears, overcome the challenges and ultimately establish a new society.
