Product Description
"If there was ever a Golden Age for humanity, it was when they were on Mars - the first time. 25,000 years ago!" So starts Neil's edgily compelling tale-within-a-tale of Mars - the Red Planet. So called because it has been marinated in human blood since before the dawn of history. As it starts, so it continues, taking the reader from the very origin of human species right through to their virtual demise - twice. The book tells the remarkable story of two human settlementson Mars, 25,000 years in the past and 400 years in thefuture. And shows how both come to the same inevitable end,dictated by a bloody-minded human nature that simply cannotrenounce violence.Centering around a teenage boy who is drafted on Mars to fight for independence against a tyrannical Earth, it's an exciting story that can stand on its own, but Only Human/Martian Independence is actually the prequel of Neil's first novel - Becoming Human - and explains the history of some of the characters and some of the events that appear in that dark cult classic
