Martianity

'Mars' Martin falls to Earth - hard. He loses everything, even the car he slept in. Mars is new in town and homeless but the charismatic hipster builds a fledgling charity into a global phenomenon to counter a spiraling economic crisis that tosses desperate families into tent cities on urban streets.

One person stands in his way - his boss. Mars' generosity runs up against the misery-inducing schemes of a shady corporate titan, Cam Golden, his exact moral opposite. Their awkward partnership quickly devolves into a battle for survival when Cam threatens Mars' charity as part of a criminal plot to monopolize food supplies and profit from famine.

The author is a writer-creator and veteran Washington analyst with a love for art, science, history, social justice, and environmentalism.

Martianity connects the growing inequality crisis to human greed and malfeasance which opens the window for corrupt transgressions against the most vulnerable. Fortunately, Mars is a classic hero, perfect for this epic thriller, a coming-of-age action-adventure.
