| dcterms.abstract | The year is 2083, Greenport, Eastern Long Island. Ondrew Davies, grand scion of an extraordinary family, in order to free his astronaut father, Taelor, from a government mental institution in which the elder has spent his life, is attempting to fulfill a government demand to write an allocution in memoir explaining the alleged hoax his father and grandfather perpetrated during the last manned Mars mission of 2054. NASA and NSA, who have joined forces following a failed attempt to crash a space shuttle into the White House, are in control of the country. In order to attract private investment and colonization to Mars the notion that all who land on Mars are subject to something that seduces them to commit suicide must be dispelled. Mars terraforming, including regrowing its atmosphere and oceans is nearly complete but without people willing to populate nothing can move forward. Taelor's escape attempt released something into earths' oceans which have lost all buoyancy. Taelor intimates it was Ondrew's Martian cloned mother that effected the change. Most baffling of all is he wants his son to aid him in suicide as soon Taelor is released. Ondrew has fallen in love with Moira, a woman he met on Long Beach during one of his previous trips to his father. Though he doesn't believe she is entirely real, he thinks she emerged from the bay. | |
