After just 100 days since the 453 hand-picked space colonist's departure from Earth, the travelers received news that the United States was forced to declare war on China. It would be the last communication they would receive. Two hundred and fifty years later, another hand-selected group—born several generations after these men and women landed on Mars—left the red planet on a return mission to Earth. The Earth they would find when they arrived was not the Earth their ancestors left—far from it.

Born to the inTasiyo, bitter enemies of the inGara, Tano is trying hard to behave perfectly and win acceptance among his new people. But he fears that any misstep might mean the lord of the inGara casts him out. Tano could lose more than his place with his new tribe: he could lose Ryo’s good opinion and encouragement, his tentative new friendships, his younger brother—everything that matters to him. He would rather die.
