The Last of the Martians #2

by Stephen E. Meyer

Five years have passed since the cryptic Founders of Mars sent Taurii, a highly-trained secret operative, on a mission back to Earth, which has been kept without electricity for centuries. But the careful plans of her Martian handlers went awry.

Now known as Tory, the Skywoman, she struggles to adjust to life in a small frontier town. As a delegate to the newly-formed Commonwell, she leaps at the opportunity to be an ambassador to distant Sun Town. Accompanied by her family, Tory embarks on an epic river journey deep into the heart of the former American Empire, where she encounters an ancient menace rising among the ruins, and the far-reaching ambition of the Martians is revealed.

This story is just so completely different and it's awesome! A long journey filled with relatable outdoorsman scenes and truly unique characters from several different familiar early American traditions, groups and native american tribes.
I told my wife that if Wilson Rawls wrote science fiction this is what you would get. This story is outlandish but just feels so close to home. Can't wait to read the finale!

Give this series a real, honest chance.
