In this compelling story, January, a former principal in London's Royal Ballet, finds himself as a refugee on Tharsis, the terraformed colony on Mars, following an environmental catastrophe. As an Earthstronger, January's life on Mars is restricted by his body's inability to adjust to the planet's lower gravity. His choices for employment, housing, and transportation are all governed by this second-class status. However, a xenophobic politician named Aubrey Gale poses an even greater threat to January's future, advocating for the surgical naturalization of all Earthstrongers, a process that is disabling and potentially fatal. When Gale's media encounter with January goes disastrously wrong, both their lives are thrown into chaos. Gale proposes a five-year fake marriage to improve their public image and secure January's future without immediate naturalization.
