What sleeps on Mars should not be woken.
The Mars excavation team has discovered sentient life buried on the outskirts of Hellas Montes in the form of a plant. Locked away in its tomb, the specimen brings humanity its greatest discovery, or perhaps, the greatest threat to their existence. When the crew starts listening to their mind, they discover there's something talking back in the darkness. Not God, but something entirely foreign. Their discovery and experiments have repercussions for humanity's survival.
O Reader Mine, follow the specimen through centuries. From Mars to Earth, discover that the hubris of man is our greatest downfall. And sometimes, it's better to leave plants where they lie.
