Its 1959 in Socialist Virginia. The Deep South is an independent black nation called Nova Africa. The second mars expedition is about to touch down on the red planet and a pregant scientist is climbing the Blue Ridge in search of her great grandfather, a teenage slave who fought with John Brown in Harriet Tubman's guerilla army.
