Set in 2026, this narrative chronicles the colonization of Mars, showcasing the ambitious efforts of a hundred colonists led by John Boone, Maya Toitovna, Frank Chalmers, and Arkady Bogdanov. These pioneers aim to terraform the red planet, transforming its hostile environment into a habitable one. For some, Mars represents a thrilling challenge, igniting acts of bravery and madness, while others see it as a treasure trove to exploit. Genetic "alchemists" view Mars as a canvas for groundbreaking biomedical advancements that could redefine life and death. The colonists employ innovative techniques, such as deploying giant satellite mirrors to reflect sunlight onto the surface, using black dust to capture warmth and melt polar ice, and drilling deep tunnels into the Martian mantle to release hot gases. Amidst this monumental endeavor, personal rivalries, romances, and friendships emerge and dissolve, as some factions are willing to fight fiercely to preserve Mars in its original state. This brilliantly imagined saga explores the complexities of human evolution and the duality of progress, presenting a future that is both awe-inspiring and fraught with challenges.
