Would you like to go to Mars? I know I would. But would you want to immigrate there? If so, this book is chock-full of information on how to get there, how to live there, how to work there, how to start slavery there, how our world kind of sucks, how America started but isn’t going so well, and how to get around on our neighbor, the Red Planet.

Picard and Garak on the cover? The Enterprise-D docked at Deep Space 9, er, Terok Nor too?! Oh, this is going to be gooood! [Spoiler Alert: It. Is. Great!]
