Redlands: Crime and Consequence on the Martian Frontier

When worlds-famous science popularizer Silas Hudson and his partner are brutally killed while visiting an isolated settlement on Mars, settlers take justice into their own hands. The justice they seek carries a greater danger than murder, however, and their actions threaten to conceal another crime with far-reaching consequences.

In this Dispatch, freelance journalist Calvin Lake investigates the truth behind the events of March 2047, and their long-term consequences for Mars.

Recently recovered from a crippling illness, Leon Toa sets out on his first solo trip to Port Lowell. For any other Martian settler it would be a routine drive, but for Leon it's a chance to rebuild his battered self-confidence and demonstrate his regained independence - both to his fellow settlers and to himself. When unseen forces interrupt his trip deep in an unpopulated and unexplored network of canyons, he must uncover the truth about his past before what's left of his future runs out.

Going beyond the bare facts and curiously self-interested evasions of the official Mars Development Authority inquest report, Lake's account uses exclusive eyewitness and survivor interviews to paint a fuller picture of the 'cat-astrophe' of April 1, 2050.
