Got the book because I like the artwork and it's SF on Mars! I wasn't expecting much of the story apart from drones, robots, and fights, but I was greatly surprised as I found a bit more. Some nice characters and a fully fleshed protagonist with a past, values and ethics. The hard conditions of forced labour and colonisation of another planet. These issues are explored from political, philosophical, and religious perspectives. This was not an academic essay, but a good story that leaves you thinking afterwards.
