Below the Polar ice caps of Mars, there lays a vast salt water reservoir, untouched and dead for centuries.
The human settlers on Mars are in desperate need of supplies, and begin drilling tunnels from the North Pole to the various colonies, many of which are located around Olympus Mons. The main workforce on Mars are known as anteka, young children drilled and trained to operate the machinery. Amongst these, Oraku Aceves has just landed on Mars and has been quickly put into work operating a mechanical Excavation Unit, drilling tunnels to many of the various North Colonies. He and his partner, Sotaima, soon discover that not all is as it seems just below the surface of the Red Planet, Bringer of War.
Can they prevent major flooding and possibly another mass extinction on Mars?
