Mars is Hungry

Mars used to mean wonder and possibility.
Now, for Addison, it means boredom.

Thanks to faster space travel, Mars is no longer a dream—it's a job site. Lacking ambition, discipline, or a college degree, Addison ends up on the Red Planet as a janitor, sent there by his billionaire father to stay out of trouble and out of sight.

Life on Mars is dull, predictable, and safely uneventful… until Addison sees something impossible.

He isn't alone.

Hidden deep below Mars, Nix has been watching humanity for years, waiting for the right moment to make contact. When she finally does, Addison becomes part of a first encounter that is nothing like humanity imagined.

Because Mars is not a dead world.

It has its own gods.

And Mars is hungry.
