By Gerald Hall

Deborah Marcum has just married the love of her life, Peter Sorenson. But the world continues to crumble around her. Her ship has been put into mothballs in the aftermath of the secession of the Western States from the United States of America. Now, Deborah spends far more time behind a desk than in an aircraft cockpit. The Islamist armies of the Arab Brotherhood are sweeping through Europe, Africa, Eurasia and even making inroads into Latin America. . Likewise, assault forces of the Pacific Caliphate are rapidly taking control of East Asia and conquering everything in their path eastward. The ten thousand extraordinary young polymaths born in the aftermath of the Second Event are rapidly moving to the new colony on Mars. Deborah doesn't want to move to Mars despite repeated requests by the polymaths for her to come there. But terrorist attacks on other polymaths and a personal tragedy finally convince Deborah and Peter to make the flight to Mars. At first, life on Mars is full of happiness and wonder with Deborah discovering that that she is pregnant with twins. But an imminent catastrophe that threatens the lives of everyone at Hebes Chasma forces Deborah to finally use her extraordinary gift to its fullest potential. To save the people on Mars, she must risk her life and the lives of her unborn children. In the end, Deborah changes an entire world as well as humanity's future.
