What sleeps on Mars should not be woken.
The Mars excavation team has discovered sentient life buried on the outskirts of Hellas Montes in the form of a plant. Locked away in its tomb, the specimen brings humanity its greatest discovery, or perhaps, the greatest threat to their existence. When the crew starts listening to their mind, they discover there’s something talking back in the darkness. Not God, but something entirely foreign.
This short story collection spans 300 years and follows the specimen as it makes it way to Earth and begins terraforming the planet. Will humanity find a way to survive?
They should have left sleeping plants where they lie.
