Waves on Mars

Dooms Day, May 3, 2101, at 6:00 and twenty seconds. The alien artifact's predicted collision with Earth by the planet-killing asteroid was fast approaching. The United States had kept the prediction and the alien artifact which made it, a closely held secret but something had changed to alter the prediction, something unexpected and now the Earth was in a different kind of danger, one that might also signal the end of humanity. In "Waves on Mars," the United States, helped by the information contained in the alien artifact found in 2085, has begun to colonize Mars and terraform the planet to make it habitable for humans. Mars has surprises unforeseen though, and those surprises alter the American path. Everywhere the United States turns, it's faced with the unintended consequences of its secret use of the alien information. Now it's backed into a corner and faced with certain failure or worse, the end of all life here on the only planet we can call, "Mother Earth."
