After the Mars Exodus

It has been over fifty years since a renegade Christian sect colonized Mars to make its own version of a perfect world. Michael Simonson was being raised into this world when he realized something that complicated things: He was attracted to men. Afraid that he would be executed for disobeying Martian law, he used the money his parents gave him for college to buy a one way ticket to Earth. Captain Marley Rock is having his own crisis. Although he was raised to be socially aware, he had for the past twenty years been working for a travel corporation he believed to be unjust and evil. For his last mission on the PIV Copper, his fate will cross with Michael's and send them on an adventure neither they nor the crew would ever forget.
