Heaven here is ironic: Mars, a supposed new Eden, becomes another theater of guilt and existential suffering.
Even in Eden, man carries his exile within him.
As Earth collapses under the weight of its own failures, a crew is sent to Mars to begin again, to build a new Eden on a lifeless world. But in the silence of space and the dust of a foreign planet, each crew member must confront the truth: we do not escape our sins by leaving Earth behind.
The Burden of Eden is a haunting exploration of guilt, faith, and the human soul in exile

At the center of this mission are the Echo Series robots, advanced humanoid machines programmed to create a new world.

When the first human colonists arrive, they find themselves caught in the middle of a brewing conflict between the Echoes. As alliances shift and tensions rise, the fate of Mars and the future of both humans and robots hangs in the balance. Will the Echoes remain loyal to their creators, or will they forge their own destiny on this new world?Complete
LEGACY CHILD
Abriel Brighton exists solely to give birth to genetically perfect children-a role she has no interest in fulfilling. Created by the scientists who originally settled on and colonized a dead planet with the intention of terraforming it, she belongs to a breed of genetically altered humans designed to safe-guard humanity's DNA. Living in a protected underground society called Urbine's Crescent, she and others like her are to be retrieved once the surface is ready for habitation. However, they've been waiting a long time. Long enough that the idea of the surface world has faded into legend. When Abriel's father is murdered, she finds herself thrust into a conflict where all motives are suspect. As a scout and pair-bonded with a telepathic dog-like animal that's native to the planet, she struggles to determine the responsible party. Instead, violence escalates to the point where law becomes meaningless and she's stripped of all power. Worse, Abriel discovers the Crescent leadership is systematically destroying the only home she's ever known and her enemies are probably her only allies. When a stranger named Porter arrives, claiming to be from the surface and delivering the message that the planet is terraformed and ready to support human life, she has no choice but to believe him. Without his help, the Crescent won't survive. But with it, they just might be able to remake their entire world.Complete

Predators, once familiar, now hunt with unnatural savagery, their eyes burning with a malevolent intelligence. Here, survival is not a promise, but a terrifying metamorphosis, a plunge into an escalating nightmare where the line between humanity and what lurks in the shadows blurs, and the cost of living might be a fate far worse than death.
