As the youngest person on Mars, Zed Marsh knows he has a lot to prove, and the discovery of an impossible cavern seems like the perfect chance to prove his worth. Now he just has to survive the consequences of bringing home what he found inside.
Signs of alien life were detected beneath the surface of Mars the day Zed landed on the red planet. As one of only three teens in the crater-dome town of Inauguration, Zed jumped at the chance to put his skills with the colony's advanced VR tech to use in the search. What should have been an easy win turns into a deadly disaster, putting everything Zed cares about in jeopardy.
A hacked virtual world, suspected murder, and strange new powers have Zed questioning his sanity and whom he can trust. As unknown forces lash out from the shadows, Zed must overcome his fears and embrace his unexpected new life on Mars or risk losing it all.
The Martian meets Treasure Island in this slow-burn, coming-of-age adventure. Pick up Sol's Ladder today and explore the depths of Mars in N. J. Glemboski's debut novel, the first in a series that spans the solar system.
