But the Martians lack expertise in hydrology and hydraulic engineering. They need help from their watery neighboring world. Help may be arriving soon. The diplomatic ship, the Maearth is returning to Mars with a delegation of political and industrial leaders from Earth and a group of the Martians’ daughters and sons, the Mercury Group. Named for the ancient Roman god, these messengers and exchange students from Mars lived for years on Earth, as good will ambassadors absorbing information about the cultures and ways of their hosts across the globe.
Among them is Luoying, a dancer, and the granddaughter of Hans Sloan, the consul of Mars, or as he’s referred to on Earth, “the great dictator.” On her return home Luoying finds herself somewhat ill at ease, and a bit alienated from her childhood home.
