Full Description

Mars: a planet that demands everything and gives nothing in return.

On this unforgiving frontier, survival is only the beginning. . . A construction engineer’s sudden death lays the foundation for mistrust between Earth and Mars. A young scientist’s accidental discovery of a dormant organism in the icy soil threatens the colony with a danger as ancient as the planet itself. And a group of disillusioned rebels prepares to rise, driven by Earth’s failures and emboldened by Mars’ lawless expanse.

As resources grow scarce and Company policies turn draconian, colonists face the brutal truth: Mars will change them, or it will break them. From secret alliances in darkened habitats to daring escapes across barren terrain, survival is not just a matter of grit—it’s a battle for humanity’s future on the red planet.

A richly layered, tumultuous epic, Tales From The Red Planet – Part 1 captures the gritty resilience of humanity’s first steps on Mars. Immerse yourself in a world where survival is a daily battle and each life, choice, and betrayal shapes a colony’s fragile future.
