A sweeping epic of Mars’s fight for freedom—an unforgettable saga of war, family, and civilization on the red frontier.
For generations, the Newcastles, Mackenzies, Atkinses, Hyltons, and Hollinses have endured the hard red soil of Mars—surviving by individual grit, intense family loyalty, and free-market trade. Scarred by World War III and its long, violent aftermath, they built farms, raised domes, forged alliances, and carried old grudges to a new world. Trade with the nearby Chinese enclaves brought prosperity for a time. But then trade becomes tribute—and tribute becomes force.
When Chinese armored columns grind across Karl’s Ramp and convoys are torn apart in the Chaos, Mars is plunged into war. The clans face an empire pressing down from above and rivalries tearing them apart from within. From isolated domes to the vastness of Martian plains and interplanetary space, war sparks into revolution as the struggle for hearth and home becomes a desperate attempt to form a new nation on an alien world. A vast chronicle of clans and civilizations, of families too proud to yield, too divided to trust, and too determined to be ruled.
The first entry in the Red State interplanetary series.
“Tough-as-nails pioneer families and a great sci-fi war story wrapped up in a huge epic of Mars’s fight for freedom. Loved it.”—Larry Correia, New York Times best-selling author of American Paladin and Monster Hunter International
“Despite taking place on another planet, in a world of regular A.I. access, daily 3-D printing of goods, and commonplace drone usage, the Martians are faced with the same questions as our Founding Fathers in the late eighteenth century. They can live comfortably and peacefully with a collar on their necks and someone else’s hand in their wallets, or they can purchase the life they want with the most precious resources of all – blood, sweat, and tears. . . . Red State Mars is an American saga through-and-through.”—The Federalist
“Just plain cool.”—Kurt Schlichter, best-selling author of American Warlord
