Book description

The year is 2050. The world's environmental abuse can no longer be ignored. The only hope for humanity lies in whether or not Earth's nearest neighbor is capable of sustaining human life...

Lieutenant Commander Kate Bowman is four hundred million kilometers from Earth, working desperately to repair a damage spacecraft orbiting Mars.

Her crew is stranded in the surface below, fighting for their lives against the planet's natural hazards, and one man-made hazard--a malfuctioning robot intent on killing them.

She has been ordered to return home and leave the astronauts to their fate. But if her entire crew dies, so do Mars' secrets.

And humanity's future....
