출판사 설명
The Year is 2040.
The Marines have landed on Mars to guard the unearthed secrets of an ancient and dangerous alien race: Ourselves.
Scientists have discovered something astonishing in the subterranean ruins of a sprawling Martian city: startling evidence of an alternative history that threatens to split humanity into opposing factions and plunge the Earth into chaos and war. The USMC -- a branch of a military considered, until just recently, to be obsolete -- has dispatched the Marine Mars Expeditionary Force, a thirty-man weapons platoon, to the Red Planet to protect American civilians and interest with lethal force if necessary.
Because great powers are willing to devastate a world in order to keep an ancient secret buried. Because something that was hidden in the Martian dust for half a million years has just been unearthed . . . something that calls into question every belief that forms the delicate foundation of civilization . . .
Something inexplicably human.

Incredible series!
I loved this book the first time I picked it up. The entire 9 book series is great, and this book starts it off brilliantly. Must read!
Not great
Obsession with the Marine Corps and Japanese culture makes book #1 (the only one I could finish) nearly unreadable. The characters are hopelessly one dimensional in the same way as modern apocalypse pulp fiction. It's a shame because it was a good premise.
