The Marines have landed on Mars to guard the unearthed secrets of an ancient and dangerous alien race:<br> Ours. Scientists have discovered something astonishing in the subterranean ruins of a sprawling Martian city: startling evidence of an alternative history that threatens to split humanity into opposing factions and plunge the Earth into chaos and war. The USMC -- a branch of a military considered, until just recently, to be obsolete -- has dispatched the Marine Mars Expeditionary Force, a thirty-man weapons platoon, to the Red Planet to protect American civilians and interest with lethal force if necessary. <i>Because great powers are willing to devastate a world in order to keep an ancient secret buried. Because something that was hidden in the Martian dust for half a million years has just been unearthed . . . something that calls into question every belief that forms the delicate foundation of civilization . . . Something inexplicably human. </i> 198642 1 5 1998 Semper Mars: Book One of the Heritage Trilogy total:65|5:20|4:22|3:17|2:6|1:0| 65 251 104 10 4 0 false false Sat Mar 07 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Fri Mar 06 15:07:24 -0800 2009 Fri Mar 06 15:19:19 -0800 2009 The martian site with the ancient ruins add an i...more...]]> 4 0 false false Tue Apr 01 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Thu Apr 10 18:16:55 -0700 2008 Mon Apr 14 20:44:20 -0700 2008 Semper Mars expecting anything other than the U.S. Marine Corps kicking ass on the Red Planet, then I can't help you.
