Back to Earth: Finding Life in Desperate Straits

Huo Ye has spent his whole life fleeing and fighting to survive. At forty-three, he escaped the rat race and ventured alone to a foreign country. After ten years, he finally got his green card, thinking he could live out the rest of his days in peace. At fifty-three, cancer came for him. A human-machine modification forbidden by Earth's ethics gave him a glimmer of hope, but would send him to the desolate Mars. A partially modified body, fragile natural bones, dust storms stretching across the sky, and cosmic radiation. The man who once dared to cross oceans now journeys to the Red Planet for one reason only: to stay alive.
