Space Colony

We expected Mars to be an escape, not a trap. A crimson, blasted, frigid trap. Maybe humans were lucky to leave Earth as cowards...or maybe they should have died trying to save it from the aliens. Because what's now arrived on this red rock may be worse than death. Aliens destroyed humanity and seized Earth. Now they have sent a terrible, unstoppable disease to the last human outposts on Mars. The doomsday clock is ticking and only criminal archaeologist Ozzy Mack can decipher the clues buried in the ancient Martian ruins...clues to the cure and the salvation of humankind.

All that remains of human civilization is a fledgling colony on Concordia, a planet light years from Earth. Infighting and disaster dogged the colony's earliest days, but through the determination and bravery of a few individuals, the remnants of humankind have clung to existence.

Now she must travel to the Galactic Assembly and persuade the leading powers to accept humans into their alliance.

Ian and Mabel are struggling to figure out their place on the Colony Ship Zubalamo. They have escaped some threats, and they think they have found a safe hiding place.

They are unwelcome on the engineering section, or in any of the eight enormous biomes.

Aboard the ancient space ship, Max and Snow flee the parties hunting for them, and continue their quest to uncover the truth about their people. The chase continues across space and multiple planets.
