Mars took us in. Now it's taking us out.




Mars is our last outpost, our final chance for survival. It's also a fatal trap the alien invasion has us backed into. Mars has kept us alive for a hundred years since we fled Earth, when we had nowhere else to go. The aliens spent that century rebuilding and reorganizing. Now, they're heading our way, ready to give genocide another swing.




But humanity isn't ready to die just yet-especially not criminal archaeologist Ozzy Mack.




Ozzy has a task: Decode ancient glyphs to find an ultimate weapon buried long ago. Problem #1: The weapon may not exist. Problem #2: The glyphs claim only those of the right bloodline can operate it. Problem #3: No one of that bloodline exists anymore.




Two interstellar enemies are about to collide, and Ozzy may have to decide between his own fate and humanity's.
