Birth of\nFire: A teenage delinquent on a crowded, corrupt Earth, Garrett was given a\nchoice: rot in prison on Earth, or be deported to Mars to work in the colony\nthere. But on Mars he would find an inner strength that he had never known\nbefore, and when Mars revolted against the multinational corporations that\ncontrolled the colonist's lives, Garrett was on the front lines in the battle\nfor planetary freedom.

Haven had fallen back to a\nnineteenth century level of technology, and the basic requirement for a colony\nworld to be admitted to the Empire as a full-fledged member with the right of\nself-government is that the colony have space travel. Unless Haven can somehow\ndevelop a spaceship, and quickly, the planet will be ruled by Imperial agents\nand the inhabitants will be little more than medieval serfs.
