Aldrick Idramla is back once again in Book 3 of the Mars Chronicles series. The journey to PODS-9 would bring him far more troubles than he would have imagined and it comes as no surprise that he would have to alter his plans. Damon, somehow, seems to be rather persistent in making Aldrick's life a living hell and Elarya becomes an important character in Aldrick's fight for survival. One more journey needs to be made, because perhaps Mars isn't supposed to be a place to call home.
