The day has come when the damage mankind has wreaked on Earth reaches a point exceeding even our wildest imaginings. Our weary old planet has become too small for the appetites of the powers that be and their ravenous markets. It’s clear that only the fittest can survive, so in the 23rd century they begin their evacuation to the Moon and Mars, leaving the weak behind to wait meekly for extinction. But by the 25th century, Mars proves so hostile to life that continuing human presence on the planet becomes untenable. The new Martians set about the brutal re-colonisation of a now peaceful Earth.
