The Years of Rice and Salt

It is the fourteenth century and one of the most apocalyptic events in human history is set to occur-the coming of the Black Death. History teaches us that a third of Europe's population was destroyed. But what if?...

In 2027, the Ares, the biggest space-worthy craft ever built by man, reaches high orbit around Mars. Inside is a crew who will become the first 100 people to land on the planet's surface. Their mission: terraform a frozen wasteland with no atmosphere into a new Eden. The future of human civilization depends on their success.

The First Hundred - the planet's human pioneers - landed on Mars a generation ago. As humanity's dream of a new world falters in the wake of a failed revolution, those first colonists have scattered or died. The first generation of children born on Mars, along with the survivors of the original settlers, wrestle for control.

As Earth cracks under the pressure of overpopulation, with too few resources, Mars stands as an Eden to be envied. Rifts have formed between the two most powerful factions on the planet's surface: the Reds and the Greens. But now a civil war threatens to destroy all that humanity has done to create a blue and perfect Mars.

Aided by strange tribesmen, he will journey to the cove of the spine kings, a brutal race that has enslaved the woman and several of the tribesmen. That is only the beginning of his quest, as he struggles to find...
