the Gospel of Mars: Faith Beyond Blue Planet

They left Earth to escape their past. They didn't realize they were carrying it with them.In the wake of the "Exodus from Eden," humanity has settled the red sands of Mars under a strict Charter of Reason. On this new world, logic is the only law, and the ancient "superstitions" of religion have been incinerated to ash-or so the Founders believed. But in the quiet hum of the domes, a "metaphysical residue" remains. Children born under artificial lights are dreaming of blue skies they have never seen. A maintenance worker discovers a forbidden fragment of an ancient text. And in the southern deserts, a scientist named Lyra Kesh begins to hear a rhythmic "Breath" in the Martian wind.The Gospel of Mars is a breathtaking work of speculative fiction that explores what happens when humanity stops running and begins to stay. As a new faith rises from the dust, the colonists must face a haunting question: Can reason alone build a home, or is the human soul hardwired for wonder?
