On Mars

Year 2132. Jasmine Stenford, nineteen and inconveniently honest, is framed by corrupt higher-ups on Earth and shipped to the red planet’s vast penal colony. Shackled to hard-labor duty beneath a bleached-pink sky, she thinks the worst is behind her—until Mars shows its teeth. Out here the sand is iron, the overseers answer to no law, and the only currency is violence. Hell didn’t vanish; it just changed address. Jasmine must decide whether to bend, break… or spark the revolt the corporations fear most. Runberg and Grun’s award-winning trilogy—collected for the first time in English—plunges readers into a gritty sci-fi frontier where survival is the only justice.
