The protagonist who has developed a way to generate and control gravity using a combination of existing technologies.

While on Mars, the group discovers that, not only had the Red Planet been inhabited by intelligent life in the distant past, a pair of “alien” scientists remains there. The identities of the two and their purpose for being there provide a shocker to the Earth.
