For decades the area Consortium of America has sought out new methods to harvest assets beyond an increasingly depleted Earth. The best strategy is about to become ignited. So is the greatest threat to humankind . DETONATION EVENT Battle-hardened Captain Ry Devans and his team from the Mars Orbiting Train station-1 are section of a vivid strategy: resurrect the active molten cores of the Crimson Planet with synchronized thermonuclear explosions, and terraform the hell out of this iron-oxide rock for future about Detonation Event generations. It’ll change history. So will the strands of carbon-based Martian cells that have hitched a trip on the dispatch. Dr. Karen Wagner knows the microbes’ level of resistance to virus is usually incredible. It’s the unknowable that’s dicey. Her purchases: blow them into space. But orders could be undermined.

But space madness could possibly be his salvation-and Earth’s. He has a plan. And he’ll need to be crazy to create it work.
