Mackay, Scott. The Meek. Roc, 2001.
While exploring Ceres, Cody, a young soldier with some telepathic ability, discovers a community of people genetically modified to survive low-oxygen environments like those on Mars. Conflict between earth and the refugee group ensue. Reading a mediocre book like this makes me appreciate Leviathan Wakes, a good novel with similar themes.

Achei uma história fantástica. Ao fazer a investigação do asteróide Ceres para o tornar habitável uma equipa liderada por Cody (com imensas parecenças a Jake Sully de Avatar) descobrem umas criaturas transformadas e mutantes que resistem a todas as tentativas de serem afastadas dali. A história desenvolve-se com uma quantidade de dilemas morais sobre as consequências daquilo que criámos e de que forma podemos resolver os problemas sem destruir raças inteiras. Vale mesmo a pena ler.
