Then her eyes rolled up, her head shook and her arms spasmed. When her eyes came back down she could see ghosts of the advanced civilization that had once inhabited the lava tubes on Mars. A twist of genetic fate allows Elizabeth Nasri to witness the lost Martian civilization, uncover its secrets, and bring its story back to Earth. But corporate kingpins are determined to control the Martians’ advanced technologies. Elizabeth Nasri is both the key they seek and the barrier to their success.
