- Martinis live on Mars peacefully until greedy FATmen immigrants from Earth begin terraforming the planet. Tedesco brings his family to settle on Mars but a war between Martinis and FATmen forces Tedesco's family to make dangerous choices.
- Mars is inhabited by humans who were genetically modified to live in the Martian environment. That was working fine, until now. Recently ordinary Humans, (who call the modified humans "Martinis") start aggressively Terra-forming Mars to their liking. The two cannot flourish in the same conditions and stealth wars break out between them. To the tall, thin Martinis, all non-modified humans are "FATmen" a reference to comparative appearance, but also to the greedy appetites of Earth-borne immigrants. Tedesco, his argumentative family in tow, is part of one such immigrant family coming into Mars. (they live on his inexpensively acquired used ship, formerly an orbital-brothel ). Tedescoe is an ex-police-man now in search of a new work, a safe place for his family, and a life free of politics. But soon his job providing security at a terra-forming station, will cause him to take sides, the consequences for his family and him will be progressively more and more life-changing. Different members of his family make opposing choices; as the stealth war threatens to break into full-fledged conflict. In FATman society, it's an unsafe way to be.—Gregg Larson
