What is it? Who could have built it?The secret lies in the chaotic decades of the Martian Revolution, in the lost memories of those who have lived for centuries.This new Tor Essentials edition of Icehenge includes a new introduction by Henry Farrell, co-author of Underground Empire: How America Weaponized the World Economy.
