A Gift For Terra

Johnny Love wakes beneath a buckled deck, alive in a wrecked ship—and Ferris is dead. Outside, red sand pours through the hull while Mars waits, vast and silent.

The first Earth-Mars flight has ended in a crash, and Johnny, alone on a planet he believes lifeless, staggers into its merciless desert. Then small figures find him, restore his air, and reveal that the Martians live underground. They have studied his mind and offer him something beyond imagining—but can he trust beings who know him better than he knows them? Other human crews are already on their way. What will Johnny’s choice mean for them, and for Earth?
