The Marines have landed on Mars to guard the unearthed secrets of an ancient and dangerous alien race: Ourselves.

Scientists have discovered something astonishing in the subterranean ruins of a sprawling Martian city: startling evidence of an alternative history that threatens to split humanity into opposing factions and plunge the Earth into chaos and war. The USMC -- a branch of a military considered, until just recently, to be obsolete -- has dispatched the Marine Mars Expeditionary Force, a thirty-man weapons platoon, to the Red Planet to protect American civilians and interest with lethal force if necessary.

Because great powers are willing to devastate a world in order to keep an ancient secret buried. Because something that was hidden in the Martian dust for half a million years has just been unearthed . . . something that calls into question every belief that forms the delicate foundation of civilization . . .

Something inexplicably human.

Who would have thought that a Marine Corps novel about Mars could be not only enjoyable but also realistic? Political intrigue, combat, interesting decisions - this book is an absolute gem. Ian Douglas brings us a great story about a small group of marines who against all odds, fight back against the impossible. Ray Chase, the narrator does a great job bringing this book to my ears. I recommend this book for any sci-fi military fans out there. #Audible1
