Description

The fate of humankind rests on a gamble.

As political tensions rise, the United States prepares for a nuclear holocaust by fast-tracking Rod Carue's research, which could make possible a human colony on Mars.

Working in the low gravity of a lunar base, Rod's team races against the clock to perfect the technology that is humanity's last hope.

But they're too late.

One awful day, the scientists stare in horror as war devastates their planet below, killing everyone they love. They descend into chaos, grief, and panic, many even losing their will to live.

With limited room on the Mars-bound ship, the last humans face an unthinkable choice: Who will risk all on a journey where the smallest malfunction could kill everyone aboard? And who will sacrifice all, left behind as resources run out?

To even roll the dice with the fate of humanity, Rod and his fellow survivors must first find hope in a hopeless future and faith in the human race, which has just destroyed itself.

Fans of Andy Weir's The Martian and Manes P. Hogan's Inherit the Stars will devour this gripping sci-fi thriller.
