Jamie Waterman has made an important discovery on Mars. A cliff dwelling reveals the fact that an intelligent race lived on the red planet sixty-five million years ago, only to be driven into extinction by the crash of a giant meteor. But now the exploration of Mars is itself under threat of extinction, as the ultraconservative New Morality movement gains control of the United States government and cuts off all funding for the Mars program.
Meanwhile, Carter Carleton, an anthropologist who was driven from his university post by unproven rape charges, has started to dig up the remains of a Martian village. Science and politics clash on two worlds as Jamie desperately tries to save the Mars program and uncover who the vanished Martians were.
This is a compelling tale of adventure, political intrigue—and the possibility of life on other planets.

Jag har läst science fiction sen 60-talet och mer eller mindre uppväxt med Heinlein, Asimov, Dick, Clarke m.fl men har gradvis sett genren förvandlas från framtidstro till hur apokalypsen kommer att ske eller hur man lever i resterna efter den. Ben Bova är ingen ny författare men har lyckats gå mig spårlöst förbi. Modern sci fi av gammalt snitt med bäring på nutiden. Jag är väldigt imponerad. Gillar också uppläsare Stefan Rudnicki skarpt, en av de absolut bästa jag har hört. Full pott här, nu blir det en ny Bova !
