Fighting for his life and the right to see his son again, Frank Kittredge was forced to kill. Left alone at a Martian base, he decides to strike a deal with the corporation that sent him to die. Frank knows that to them he is just a “monkey,” but for the chance to return to Earth he is ready to endure—and even to be reborn as Brack, a supervisor—so he can meet NASA astronauts.
But an unexpected discovery puts not only his return home at risk—his very existence is threatened. He is not the only man on Mars.
