About This Book

Three soldiers from Earth awaken on Mars after a long period of forgetfulness, tasked with confronting the remnants of the Oligarchs, a malevolent group that survived a devastating war. The narrative explores themes of identity and memory, as the soldiers grapple with their pasts and the psychological conditioning that has altered their identities. They are caught between the idyllic yet artificial peace of the New World system and the harsh reality of their mission. As they navigate the Martian landscape, they confront the possibility of their own mortality and the implications of their roles as soldiers in a world that has forgotten the concept of war.
