The New Mars: A Family Vacation

by John L. Jr. Manning

Description

A family of four goes Mars for vacation. At Mars there are domes with hotels, an amusement park and other fun activities that are used by vacationers at Mars. The story starts with the family landing on the moon to transfer to a Space Jet that will take them to Mars. At Mars they find that there is less gravity then Earths, but more than that is on the moon. On Mars they stay in the low budget hotel at The New Mars facilities in Tent A. Tent A is a small tented city with a park in show more it and more. There are three Tents in The New Mars complexes. One has a sports complex with racing and other activates, it is amazing how the change of gravity affects the sports on Mars. The other Tent has the retirement community with a big mall and hospital. The kids want to play at the park all day but they find that there are other fun things to do on Mars. Next to their hotel there is a Skating Rink with a half pipe, they see a show there and the next day they go to skate. They find other things in Tent A like a bar that has an opened mike night every Thursday night. They find fun things to do in the other Tents also. The family has fun in each Tent, but on Friday they spend the day at Mars Dome which has grown into three domes. They take a tour of The Mars Domes and they spend time in the greenhouse of the Hotel Dome and meet a couple that want to invest in Mars. On Saturday they spend all day in Tent B and have fun playing and watching shows the big thing is Pod Racing. http://home.comcast.net/~jlm1976/Home.html show less

This will be brief, because I couldn't finish the book. The prose is so horrible it's not even worth reading past the first paragraph. I stopped at page two and skimmed around to see if it got any better, but it didn't. The author cannot decide on what tense he wants to write in, the dialogue is stilted, the grammar is horrible, and there are typos. Utterly atrocious. There's a reason why this was self-published by AuthorHouse, a company that makes you pay to print your work. Add to the fact that the author leaves 5-star reviews on his own work here on Amazon and you really do hit a low with this stuff.

(This is basically the same review I'm putting up for three of his books that I tried to read, because it's true of each).
