It's 2059 and Ailia Bax, a burnt-out war correspondent whose career has been going nowhere for the last decade, is aimless and suffering from the debilitating effects of PTSD.When the opportunity arises to report on the political situation on Mars, she jumps at the chance despite her misgivings about the lack of detail related to the assignment.After nearly twenty-five years of colonization efforts, Mars has developed a unique society composed of both humans and sapient robots called mecha. Living in a dozen settlements dotted around the Red Planet, people look to a progressive, post-capitalist, post-patriarchal future.But trouble is brewing: someone's prepared to commit mass-murder to stop their society from flourishing; they need to overcome dwindling economic support, intrusive surveillance and increasing distrust by Earth authorities; and internal differences of opinion threaten to derail their dreams of independence.Mars has already weathered two violent political events, it doesn't need a third.As Ailia traverses the alien world interviewing its inhabitants, she finds more than she bargained for including death, friendship, love, and a deep affinity for the stark, monumental beauty of the planet.Adjusting to the complexities of life on the Mars while trying to cope with graphic flashbacks that assail her, she becomes an unlikely ally in the settlers' pursuit of self-determination and must make choices that will shape her life forever and possibly determine the fate of all those who call Mars home.Like Red Mars meets Dances with Wolves with economics and interplanetary politics mixed into the narrative, this journey will take you beyond what usually appears in mainstream sci-fi novels. Emergent Mars will entertain and inspire, leaving you pondering a profound question: Will humanity be able to free itself from all the mistakes of its past as it expands into the solar system?
