A compulsively readable and fast-paced story about a man whose family have been miners below the surface of Mars for generations. They believe they are helping to terraform Mars so it will one day be inhabitable for others, but Darrow discovers it’s all a lie – Mars has been habitable for centuries, and his people kept in ignorance and slavery to keep it that way.  Darrow is recruited to infiltrate the upper castes in an attempt to take his revenge and overthrow the system.  This book will keep you on the edge of your proverbial seat from beginning to end!
