Rebellion 2456 — M.S. Murdock

Man came to. Mars.
Man saw Mars.
In the 25th Century Mars struck back.

Mars is a terraformed wonderland made possible by the exploitation of Earth's resources by a monolithic corporate nation from Mars, known as RAM, which combines the worst traits of capitalism and communism. Genetically modified Martians swarm through the Coprates Metroplex, sail the polar Boreal Sea, and ride into space via the Pavonis Space Elevator.

Earth is a polluted ruin, dominated by seedy urban sprawls and fortresslike arcologies. The people of Earth writhe under the lash of physical, economic, and military slavery. Their only hope rests with the New Earth Organization's freedom fighters, whose organization is weakened by dissension and treachery.

Enter a man from a golden age, nearly five centuries before, miraculously kept alive in suspended animation. His mission is simple: Save Earth or die trying.

Rebellion 2456, the first book in The Martian Wars Trilogy, is set in the conceivable 25th century world of Buck Rogers.
