Red Foundations: A Hard Science Fiction Epic (Red Foundations Universe)

By PJ Cereste

Independence isn't given. It's engineered.

When a rogue asteroid strikes Mars, it doesn't just reshape the surface-it rewrites the laws of physics.

Within days, a breathable atmosphere begins to form, and humanity is invited to claim a second home.

But the invitation comes from Jack Masters, a man whose origins are as mysterious as the "Ceresium" technology he provides.

Dr. Patricia Okonkwo and a hand-picked team of scientists are thrust into a world where every breath is a technical achievement and every social structure must be built from first principles. But as Earth's dying superpowers look toward the red planet with envy, the colonists realize that surviving the environment was only the beginning. To stay free, they must master a technology they don't fully understand and decide if they are willing to follow a benefactor who might not be human at all.

Red Foundations is a gripping, technically-accurate exploration of humanity's first decade on Mars-a story of discovery, the weight of stewardship, and the high price of a new beginning.
