The Mars One Incident

Technology is the Temptation

The year is 2635, the people of Earth live in a tech-free utopia. Captain Alma Johnson is one of the few permitted to use technology as part of the human fleet. In a starship that has been rebuilt more than a dozen times, she faithfully protects humanity’s holdings in the solar system overpopulated with aggressive aliens and marauding pirates.

Now she finds herself on a doomed mission that she’s been set up for from the very beginning. On Mars One Station she investigates a strange starship and learns of a coup threatening Earth’s peaceful way of life. She only has minutes to act and she knows she will be damned for either choice she makes. And what’s worse is that a small part of her wants the coup to succeed.

But she must make a choice and make it now.
