Ghosts of Mars (2001)

In 2176, a Martian police unit is sent to pick up a highly dangerous criminal at a remote mining post. Upon arrival, the cops find the post deserted and something far more dangerous than any criminal — the original inhabitants of Mars, hellbent on getting their planet back.

In Ghosts of Mars, consciousness is carried by the dead — a plane of “colonial haunting”. The story fights on E9/E10 of the E0–E14 reality ladder, compressing prejudice, colonization, fear, otherness, authority.
