Home for Humanity is the second book in The Earth-Mars Chronicles series, the story of the struggle of humanity with itself when faced with survival as a species. When humanities very existence is threatened a bold plan to preserve the human race and the history of civilization is put in motion. Volume 1: Hope for Humanity describes the human drama surrounding how hope evolves. In Volume 2 people from many countries and backgrounds come together to start a new life, but Mars is unforgiving and the political ties to Earth are difficult to break. Resolve is tested to the limit in the face of human frailty and the use of technology for evil purposes. Innovation and ingenuity become the Martian's only hope to survive. You can almost smell the dust... and hear the babies cry.

Life on Earth is becoming more difficult as the 23RD century dawns. The Alliance of nations that established the settlements on Mars has dwindled in number as economic woes spread. Emigration to Mars has ceased. Rare elements on Earth critical to governments and industries are being depleted rapidly, and Mars is becoming an indispensable source. Rivalries are reborn between nations and companies, and as always, there are those who stand ready to capitalize on the situation regardless of the cost. The first generation of those born on Mars are faced with critical decisions that will determine the future of their planet and the way of life that they take for granted. With eight settlements and a population barely over 50,000 (many of those babies and children), the Martians are seriously outnumbered and out gunned. As always, however, their strength lies in their people, and the unique bond that has developed with computational intelligence. But bloodless revolutions are rare, even on Mars. The road to independence is never easy, no matter what planet you are on!

The tranquility of Mars is disrupted by humans who want to conquer space, colonize the planet, and escape a doomed Earth.

Vol. 1 of The Earth-Mars Chronicles presented the events, drama, and personalities surrounding the decision of an international Alliance to establish a large human foothold on Mars. Vol. 2 examined the people and events that carved out a new life in multiple settlements on the Red Planet. Now complex relations between Earth and Mars are unavoidable. Her name is Liu. She was one of the first born of the new breed of humans - Martians. She was different from the children born on Earth who migrated to Mars, and sometimes the "Earthers" and the "Marties" yelled at each other, but she never participated. Over time, Liu realized that the differences went well beyond the physical; she had a thirst for knowledge that was unquenchable. By age 15 there was nothing left to learn on Mars and she left for Earth-Mars University in Earth orbit. Thus began a period in the history of Earth-Mars relations that would ultimately be dominated by her name, even though those closest to her would never comprehend the extent of her powers. But, there was another name she would share history with; one that was known for his ruthlessness as much as his accomplishments - Jon Vander."

In 1665 an anonymous treatise was added to a book skeptical of witchcraft. That book, "The Discoverie of Witchcraft", compiled by Reginald Scot and published in 1584, defended those accused of witchcraft. It also included so many examples of rituals and charms that it became popular with magical practitioners themselves. "The Magitians Discovered" Volume 2 consists of the anonymous material, along with sections from Scot's original "Discoverie" dealing with ritual magic. talismans. and amulets. This is supplemented by excerpts from two works believed to be written and translated by one of the authors of the anonymous material

Rendered in gorgeous, full-color art by Dennis Calero, Ray Bradbury's The Martian Chronicles: The Authorized Adaptation graphically translates fourteen of Bradbury's famous interconnected science-fiction stories, turning an unforgettable vision of man and Mars into an unforgettable work of art. The Earthmen came by the handful, then the hundreds, then the millions. They swept aside the majestic, dying Martian civilization to build their homes, shopping malls, and cities. Mars began as a place of boundless hopes and dreams, a planet to replace an Earth sinking into waste and war. It became a canvas for mankind's follies and darkest desires. Ultimately, the Earthmen who came to conquer the red-gold planet awoke to discover themselves conquered by Mars. Lulled by its ancient enchantments, the Earthmen learned, at terrible cost, to overcome their own humanity.

The most comprehensive look at our relationship with Mars—yesterday, today, and tomorrow—through history, archival images, pop culture ephemera, and interviews with NASA scientists Mars has been a source of fascination and speculation ever since the ancient Egyptians observed its blood-red hue and named it for their god of war and plague. But it wasn't until the 19th century when “canals” were observed on the surface of the Red Planet, suggesting the presence of water, that scientists, novelists, filmmakers, and entrepreneurs became obsessed with the question of whether there’s life on Mars. Since then, Mars has fully invaded pop culture, inspiring its own day of the week (Tuesday), an iconic Looney Tunes character, and many novels and movies, from Ray Bradbury’s Martian Chronicles to The Martian. It’s this cultural familiarity with the fourth planet that continues to inspire advancements in Mars exploration, from NASA’s launch of the Mars rover Perseverance to Elon Musk’s quest to launch a manned mission to Mars through SpaceX by 2024. Perhaps, one day, we’ll be able to answer the questions our ancestors asked when they looked up at the night sky millennia ago.
