The Trojan War rages at the foot of Olympos Mons on Mars -- observed and
influenced from on high by Zeus and his immortal family -- and
twenty-first-century professor Thomas Hockenberry is there to play a
role in the insidious private wars of vengeful gods and goddesses. On
Earth, a small band of the few remaining humans pursues a lost past and
devastating truth -- as four sentient machines depart from Jovian space
to investigate, perhaps terminate, the potentially catastrophic
emissions emanating from a mountaintop miles above the terraformed
surface of the Red Planet.
