In the far future, humanity has spread out into space. Earth is barely habitable and under the control of a ruthless government. The protagonist, Dias, is an outsider who never even thought about leaving Earth until he met an old woman at a market who tells him about the great life on Mars. Dias soon learns that his father was part of a great scientific breakthrough - one that could have changed everything for humanity - but then he died before it could be developed. Now, in order to keep his father's dream alive, Dias must find a way to take what they know and bring it back to Earth so they can change the world again.
It's been a long time since the last world war. For Paul, it's been thirty-five years of hard work, careful planning, and waiting. Now in his early 60s, he lives on a farm in North Dakota with his wife Mary and their four children. They are not starving or barely scraping by but they are lonely. Their little community is still far from anywhere else so when word comes from Washington that Paul has been selected for one of the first government grants to provide help to other communities like theirs, the family can finally see hope for their future.
