    About this ebook

    E ̇A ̇R ̇T ̇H ̇R ̇I ̇S ̇E

    By

    J.D. Buchanan

    The future. A one hundred year terra-forming project is nearing completion. Mars has an atmosphere. The metropolis of Jannah is rising up in anticipation of the arrival of the new settlers. However, the powerbrokers funding the great, multi-trillion dollar endeavor are anxious about an untimely event that has occurred that threatens to undo their promise of “New Life on Crime Free Mars”... A Detective has been dispatched from Earth to solve the red planet’s very first murder.

    “Earthrise” indulges an alternative vision to challenge longstanding perceptions of what the future colonization of Mars may look like. An example of neo-realistic, pragmatic-based science-fiction, the story unfolds its disturbing themes of celestial greed with a contrasting visual prose. The radically altered geopolitical and societal landscapes of the future that are presented here provide a rich contradiction to the assumptions of current day powers and social standings.
