How can a colony on Mars survive when the greatest danger on the planet is humanity itself?
All contact is lost with the first privately funded colony on Mars during a long and destructive sandstorm. Satellite imagery of the aftermath shows extensive damage to the facility and the fifty-four colonists who called it home are presumed dead. Three years later, a new mission sets down on the planet surface to investigate what remains of the derelict site. But it's not long before they realize the colony is not as lifeless as everyone thought.
Not only that, but mission biologist, Dr. Jann Malbec, discovers that the entire colony had developed into to a human DNA editing experiment-with unsuspecting colonists as the guinea pigs. However, once the truth of what happened is revealed, powerful Earth based corporations begin to fight for control of this extraordinary research.
Yet, Dr. Malbec realizes that returning this technology to Earth has the potential to doom humanity to a worldwide pandemic of apocalyptic proportions. She must do everything she can to prevent this from happening-even if it means that she might never see her home planet again.
