From the Back Cover

An excerpt from The Heart of Mars:

The sky melts in icy whimsy, in raindrops or sleet. It falls in rocks of hail or hangs in the sky as floating hills of powdery snow. Upon them and within them the figures slide, prance, roar, plead. Sometimes the sky lays down stalactites of ice, as if the sea were but a maze of icy bars around which the wailing figures dance and complain, while the ocean, like some beast, rises in geysers to press itself against the solid sky, sometimes breaking through and exploding upward, raging and bubbling to the frigid surface in immense columns which you can see as you circle the moon, as if the ocean itself were building castles of ice to beguile the living to the moon's frozen, dead surface. Sometimes, below, there is only the ocean and the wind and the slap and howl of weather on this moon where the weather itself is almost alive. And sometimes everything stops and it is deadly silent. Often there is so much death imitating life that it is hard to tell the difference.

From the Inside Flap

In 2540 there are horses on Mars! Earth, ravaged by global warming, is occupied by an alien species of amphibians--the Nution--who have established a utopian society employing only biological technology. They govern the solar system with a benign communism. A fish freighter carrying a load from the farms of Europa is hijacked and last seen heading toward Mars where some of the only holdouts of human culture still eke out a life. The detective, Marl, both human and Nution, is sent to investigate. He discovers the utopian dream of the Nution is not as it seems, and that the solar system is on the verge of revolution.

Part fantasy, part fabulism, part detective, Chuck Rosenthal's The Heart of Mars is a follow-up to his controversial environmental novel, My Mistress, Humanity. With his extraordinary literary sensibility, Rosenthal romps across genres, once more positing a possible future for humankind and all of the world.
