About This Book

A family on an early Martian outpost copes with dangerous native animals that breach housing and terrify residents while official regulations and obstructive administrators delay practical protections. The narrative follows parents and their young son as they barricade their home, confront an eight-headed predator, and argue with company bureaucracy that forbids spare weapons and sensible defenses. The story mixes adventure and satire, exploring survival on a hostile world and the absurd consequences of inflexible rules.
