The main storyline didn't work for me.I don't see the Martians getting away with stealing a 20 trillion dollar asteroid. Wars had been waged for much less. And the Martian independence plotline seems even less credible. Mars is not a self-sufficient colony. It's a military/research outpost with what: a couple thousand people at most? Most of them temporary workers on a few years shift, hoping to make a bunch of cash and then go back to their families on Earth. I could have understood second, third generation Martians, born and raised on the planet who may have never even visited Earth, pushing for independence.This is not the Colonies declaring independence from the British Monarchy, it's an oil platform declaring independence from the rest of the world.</blockquote>
