Denver Moon

Denver Moon is a science fiction/mystery series by Joshua Viola and Warren Hammond that consists of a novella, comic book series/graphic novel, short stories and a soundtrack.[1] Multiple critics and review sites refer to Denver Moon as Blade Runner meets Total Recall.[2][3] Denver Moon is the protagonist, a Mars-born female detective of Japanese descent, who is accompanied by her sidekick Smith, an AI merged with her late grandfather’s memories and installed in her Smith & Wesson pistol. Denver is colorblind, which plays a role in the story, as most Mars inhabitants are affected by a mysterious disease known as Red Fever. Monochromatics, such as Denver, are immune. The novella, The Minds of Mars, follows Denver as she unravels the mystery of her grandfather’s twenty-year-old death and the world-changing secrets he took to his grave that could change Mars forever.
