And Mars Shall Rise

This is an anyone-can-die story. The people of Mars are slaving under the iron fist of resource-depleted Earth, and when the strain on the exploited planet increases, it's the straw that breaks the camel's back. Like every Martian, Maryse McIntyre has had enough. A video of her defying a Terran soldier goes viral and makes her an icon of the uprising. When her brother dies under the horrendous conditions on Mars, she steps into her role as a revolutionary. Maryse joins the underground rebellion and searches the upper ranks of Martian society for allies. When she makes friends with the powerful woman that runs the mines of Mars, Maryse comes up with a ploy that will stop vital Martian exports and put pressure on Earth to finally accept Mars as a sovereign planet. But Earth does nothing like that. Earth declares war. And Maryse realizes she's not going to make it out of this alive. AND MARS SHALL RISE is a fast-paced dystopian and hard science fiction novel with a diverse cast of characters.
