> Earth’s religious regime will activate a weapon of annihilation in the name of “purging heresy.”
> Former lovers, both scientists on Mars, will begin the countdown to the ultimate weapon from the heart of their opposing factions.

> Amid the cosmic dust, only one embryo capsule will remain adrift. Within it, the genes of a new human will quietly recombine fragments of Earth’s civilizational memories with Mars’s blueprint for evolution.
