The Vines of Mars - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

Tomás thought he had accepted the tragic loss of his sister to a supposed natural calamity on the Martian frontier. But then a mysterious stranger emerges from the desolate landscape-- on a planet where everyone knows everyone and newcomers only come by rocket. No one is supposed to survive outside the colony and yet this strange half-feral boy has. What's more he knows what happened to Tomás' sister. Everything Tomás believed about his world, his family, and his hometown is shattered.

Driven by a newfound purpose, Tomás discovers that his sister also held a groundbreaking secret—one that could rekindle Mars' faltering terraformation efforts and save them from the carnivorous and seemingly mindless vine forest that threatens their borders everyday. Now, to safeguard his planet and seek justice for his family, he must confront the unsettling reality that his sister, the martian colony he calls home, and everything he learned about sentient life itself, was built on layers of deception.
