Life and Death on Mars

Life and Death on Mars - Edward M. Lerner

Life and Death on Mars

Very well respected author with a book about the colonization of Mars. The topic is hot right now and will continue to be so for the forseeable future. With multiple Mars missions planned by NASA and private investors, Mars has come back into focus.
As though landing people safely on Mars weren't daunting enough ...

The Space Race of the Sixties, at the height of the Cold War, had been nail-biting-until the Soviet Union forfeited.

In the thirties--amid a second Cold War--China is not about to lose the race to Mars. Nor is the United States. Nor, quite the wildcard, is a
secretive cabal drawn from among the world's multi-billionaires. All of them are scrambling to launch deep-space missions on a schedule that makes the Sixties
contest appear lackadaisical.

This competition could only continue on the Red Planet.

More treacherous still? The rivalries, resentments, and distrust that simmer just beneath the surface within each expedition.

More difficult yet? Survival on that arid, radiation-drenched, all-but-airless, planet.

These challenges have somehow fallen into the lap of NASA engineer--and reluctant astronaut--Xander Hopkins.

But the thorniest problem of all? The existential quandary for which neither training nor experience has prepared Xander? Making sense of the seemingly unstoppable plague that has already killed many on Mars, and seems poised to devastate all life on another planet.

Earth.
