A nuclear EMP attack sends Earth back to the stone age, leaving the colonists of Mars as the sole inheritors of humanity's legacy.
A century later, the Martians send their first wave of colonists to resettle the cradle of humanity. They inadvertently awaken an old-world tyrant known as the Mother of Lies, a self-styled goddess whose madness is matched only by her ruthless cunning.
The two factions compete to reshape humanity in their own image. The Martians envision a future wherein the individual is the master of his own destiny, but also the architect of his own misery. The Mother of Lies envisions a civilization wherein each individual is part of a hive-mind, equal and identical in every way, living eternal lives of perpetual bliss and harmony. The primitive Earth-natives must choose a side and pray to whatever gods they worship that the victor will uphold their promise of a better future.
