  • "Mary Griffith, con tre figlie e una vita personale piuttosto movimentata si trasferisce su Marte dove è stata assunta come biologa da una multinazionale. Purtroppo dopo cinque anni viene licenziata e si trova senza lavoro e senza il denaro per pagarsi il ritorno sulla Terra. Il pianeta è un luogo inospitale, ma mantiene diverse comunità di umani, tra le quali la Federazione Celtica che coltiva l'esigua porzione di suolo marziano bonificata. Sono loro a offrire una via d'uscita a Mary, dandole la materia prima perchè la donna possa realizzare della birra e con essa aprire il locale "La Principessa di Marte" attorno al quale si raccolgono personaggi di vario genere che daranno a Mary la possibilità di sviluppare una vera e propria città, libera dai vincoli della multinazionale che controlla ogni attività del pianeta, nella quale avrà origine una società nuova e vitale."
  • "In this rollicking novel of action, planetary romance, and high adventure, a determined Mary Griffith opens the only place to buy a beer on Mars' Tharsis Bulge and soon becomes the center of a terraforming company's machinations, its downfall, and the founding of a new world."
