Climbing Olympus
by Kevin J. Anderson
Betrayal of the red planet...
They were prisoners, exiles, pawns of a corrupt government. Now they are Dr. Rachel Dycek's adin: surgically transformed beings who can survive new lives on the surface of Mars. But they are still exiles, unable to ever again breathe Earth's air... And they are still pawns. For the adin exist to terraform Mars for human colonists – not for themselves. Creating a new Earth, they will destroy their own world; their success will kill them.
Desperate, adin leader Boris Tiban launches a suicide campaign to destroy the Mars Project, knowing his people will perish in his glorious, doomed orgy of mayhem. Unless embattled, bitter Rachel Dycek can find a miracle to save both the Mars Project - and the race she created.
