Colony of the Unfit

"Colony of the Unfit" by Manfred A. Carter is a gripping science fiction story set in a future where Earth sends its sick and disabled people to Mars, which means the book looks at big ideas about what is right and wrong, and what makes a human life valuable. The story centers on John Greely and Hilda as they're thrown into a harsh Martian world deemed 'unfit' by Earth's leaders, and they must fight to survive against the environment, the Martian society's controlling powers, even confronting the hard question of whether their existence is justifiable. Along the way, they meet people like doctors and other exiles, showing how complicated moral decisions can be.
