A tale told by Anton Fedorov, with assistance from co-author John Schettler as the ghost writer, this book will tell the complete story of Fedorov's time in the distant past of Mars; and how the last survivors of the ancient Martian civilization were taken off in arcs by a race they called the Old Ones to find a new world, one they had seen in their own night skies for centuries as a pale blue star.

Arriving on Earth, the Sons of Ares are taken to several critical points in pre-history to support the rise of Humanity, for in the end, Fedorov learns that we are the distant descendants of the Sons of Ares. In a clever twist, the author of the Kirov Series has presented this next volume, #74, as a story told by one of his main characters, Anton Fedorov.

Those who have not followed the series into the Encore season that began with volume #65 have missed a lot, and in this book, after Fedorov vanished in the City of night, we will get a tale told by Fedorov in the first person beginning simply: "My name is Anton Fedorov, and I was a sailor for most of my adult life, in fact a navigator on all the seas of the Earth, and thence into the heavens above to explore the darkness of Space.
