       PART ONE Peacock Mountain

       Mars is free now. We’re on our own. No one tells us what to do.

       Ann stood at the front of the train as she said this.

       But it’s so easy to backslide into old patterns of behaviour. Break one hierarchy and another springs up to take its place. We will have to be on guard for that, because there will always be people trying to make another Earth. The areophany will have to be ceaseless, an eternal struggle. We will have to think harder than ever before what it means to be Martian.
