Navy lieutenant Podkayne, daughter of Ray Garcia-Strickland, is tired of her job as Martian consul in Californiaand Earths oppressive gravity. So shes OK with getting called back to Mars even if its because her great-grandmother is sick and being put into suspended animation.

But just when her life seems to be improving for the better, disaster strikes and Podkayne is put into her own state of suspension.
