Mars has declared its independence from Earth. But founding a new nation takes more than a flag, an anthem, and naming a donkey the national animal. In this satirical space epic about power, legacy, and culture, The Second World needles the myth of progress and legacy with humor, heart, and a little bit of sci-fi madness. As Mars fights to define itself, Flip Buchanan learns that the hardest part of independence—personal or planetary—is figuring out what to do with it. $0.99 on Kindle.
