In the year 2044 the UN sponsors a mission to Mars to survey, map, and adjudicate mineral rights and land ownership between the several countries with a presence on the red planet. But a conspiracy is discovered that hinders this effort, starting with an assault on Mission Control and develops into a full-blown invasion of the small Martian capitol city of Galileo. Political intrigue and manuevering takes control of events on Earth and Mars, ultimately stranding the remaining survey team on Mars. The small team of Martians takes their survival matters into their own hands with a daring raid on a secret mine operating near the Valles Maraneris, during which they begin to discover the true reason for all the chaos on both planets.
