Newhuman Mars

For a thousand years every gulag had been the same.

The same drawn faces.

The same haunting blank stares.

The same cold-blooded, inhuman guards.

The same gruesome tools for inflicting pain.

It was in this godless place called a gulag that Carina Matthews now found herself.

Rebellious. Feisty. Intelligent. She would soon learn how much agony one can endure before folding.


A masterfully crafted story based on the universal human conflict between the desire for order and the desire for freedom. Burgauer gives us a heroine whose concern is for the future, and a hero who is keenly aware of his own mortality.
