Anka the Martian

Anya and Ilya are twins from different youth subcultures. Their grandmother, a synth—creates living fabrics—while their parents build the first bases on Mars. Zhenka, an engineer at the spaceport, dreams of becoming an astronaut, but a chance meeting with a mysterious “Mars girl” on the Neva embankment throws everything upside down. After all, space is not only romance. It’s genetic engineering, corporate wars, spy games, and a risk that’s paid for with health—and sometimes with life. Who is friend and who is foe? Can you trust those who swear loyalty? And what price will have to be paid for a flight to the Red Planet? A story where dreams don’t fear gravity, and fates intertwine more tightly than any cables.
