About this title

Synopsis

Mars was never silent. It was waiting.

When engineer and explorer Eliott Sarn falls into a hidden crevasse beneath the Martian plains, he expects darkness, rock, and dust.

Instead, he finds ruins.

Perfectly carved walls.
Ancient symbols etched into stone.
A language that should not exist.

Buried beneath centuries of red dust lies the evidence of a lost civilization—one that predates recorded human history. And the deeper Eliott looks, the more impossible the truth becomes.

The inscriptions are not random.
They are not alien in the way science expected.
They are… familiar.

What begins as a scientific discovery quickly becomes something far more dangerous. Powerful interests on Earth are watching. Corporations with secrets to protect. Governments unwilling to rewrite humanity’s origin story.

To understand what he has uncovered, Eliott must confront a question no one is prepared to answer:

What if humanity did not begin on Earth?

Under the Red Dust is a cinematic science fiction novel blending planetary exploration, ancient mysteries, and high-stakes conspiracy. Perfect for readers who love atmospheric sci-fi, archaeological intrigue, and stories in the spirit of Dune and The Expanse.

The dust has kept its secret long enough.
