On Mars, survival is not guaranteed—and memory is a weapon.

The first generation of colonists came to Mars with blueprints and bravado. What they found was dust, hunger, and the long shadow of their own choices.

The Hunger Below: A Dystopian Saga of Mars and Memory follows Ethan, a quiet survivor trying to hold a fractured colony together as scarcity breeds violence and faith hardens into fanaticism. Air is rationed, food is thin, and the domes creak under storms and suspicion. When whispers of rebellion ignite in the tunnels, Ethan must decide whether to risk everything for a fragile idea of community—or be consumed by the hunger rising from beneath.

As the colony collapses into open conflict, Ethan becomes an unwilling witness to humanity’s darkest instincts and its fiercest hopes. His choices—and the cost of them—echo far beyond the red horizon. Decades later, a new expedition uncovers the traces of his stand, forcing Earth to remember what it took to claim the stars.

This is a sweeping, character-driven dystopian epic: intimate in its human moments, cinematic in scope, and unflinching about the price of survival.
