Mars Life

Jamie Waterman discovered a cliff dwelling on Mars, revealing that an intelligent race once lived there sixty-five million years ago before being driven to extinction by a meteor impact. Now, Mars exploration faces extinction again as the conservative New Morality movement controls the U.S. government and cuts funding. Anthropologist Carter Carleton, expelled from his university over unproven charges, begins excavating a Martian village. Science and politics clash as Jamie strives to save the Mars program and uncover the secrets of the vanished Martians.
