Those who enjoy science fiction will love this story of a group of astronauts sent to Mars to explore the planet and, in the process, determine why the team of Russians sent there years before never returned. Lauren Wagner is chief medical officer, and the main character of the book. She is caught in a web of intrigue as she and her crew arrive on the red planet to find that perhaps its not as uninhabited as scientists once believed. This is no story of little green men, however, but rather a story about two races that lived long before the Earth existed. Pike superimposes Laurens story with that of the Asurians and Sirians, and what results is a story of past lives, of death, and a fight to save the world from an evil force that dominated long ago.
