Under the guise of a nuclear apocalypse, a group calling itself the Preservation Society kidnaps 10,000 people. The "survivors" travel to Callisto, Jupiter's outermost Galilean moon, where they form a utopian society, free from drones and AI. Two years later, escaped fugitive Henry Allen the Third, better known as H3, arrives on Callisto. He ascends to power and prepares to defend Callisto against a team of military-trained NASA astronauts, including one John Orville.

The year is 2071. Devastated by the loss of his wife and son, NASA engineer John Orville signs up for a new life on Mars, implementing Project Bakersfield, a plan to combat deadly Martian storms. After a military unit lands on Mars, supposedly for a training exercise, Orville discovers the true purpose of Project Bakersfield. With the military unit going rogue, and a massive superstorm threatening imminent destruction, John Orville must fight to save the colony.

With well over 200 million copies sold, this novel ranks among the most famous works in the history of fictional literature. It depicts the plight of the French peasantry demoralized by the French aristocracy in the years leading up to the revolution, the corresponding brutality demonstrated by the revolutionaries toward the former aristocrats in the early years of the revolution, and many unflattering social parallels with life in London during the same time period.
