Resumen del Editor

Contains the complete Mars trilogy.

Book 1

NASA finally made it. The very first human has just set foot on the surface of our neighbor planet. This is the start of a long research expedition that sent four scientists into space. But the four astronauts of the NASA crew are not the only ones with this destination. The privately financed "Mars for Everyone" initiative has also targeted the Red Planet. Twenty men and women have been selected to live there and establish the first extraterrestrial settlement.

No one anticipates the impending catastrophe that threatens their very existence, not to mention the daily hurdles that an extended stay on an alien planet sets before them. On Mars, a struggle begins for limited resources, human cooperation, and just plain survival.

Book 2

A woman presumed dead fights her way through the hostile deserts of Mars. With her help, the NASA astronauts orphaned on the Red Planet hope to be able to solve their very worst problem. But their hopes are shattered when an unexpected menace arises and threatens to destroy everything the remnant of humanity has built on the planet. They need a miracle - or a ghost from the past whose true intentions are unknown.

Book 3

Does the secret of Mars lurk beneath the surface of its south pole? A lone astronaut searches for clues about the earlier inhabitants of the Red Planet. Meanwhile, Rick Summers, having assumed the office of Mars City's Administrator by deceit and manipulation, tries to unify the people on Mars with the weapons under his control. Then, Summers stumbles upon so powerful an evil that even he has no means to overcome it.

Good story

Good story. Not the most realistic, but enough twists and turns to keep you interested. I give it an 8.5 out of 10. Worth a listen!

Worth a listen.

The first book got me hooked. Great pace and a very interesting story. The second book was just dragging along with a bunch of unneeded dialog. The third book was great but felt rushed at the end.

Great listen!

Loved all three books. We thought the very ending was weak. It could have ended a few minutes earlier.

Lost meets The Martian

Overall a good mars series. The various competing factions make an interesting dynamic. No surprise someone tries to position themselves as the defacto king of Mars.

Great story

Enjoyed the mystery of it, also great human perspective and it’s fun to think of different ways of surviving in space! Liked all three books and grew to love the characters!

Really really enjoyed

There’s a lot going on but I truly enjoyed it. I loved the characters (or hated in some cases) and got attached.

IT WAS JUST OK

It kind of kept my interest, but I was glad when it was over. I wanted to finish it since I spent so much time on it, but it wasn't as good as I had hoped. Great narrator, with the difficult job of speaking with a very strong Eastern European accent for hours and hours. I'm glad many people liked it because the author and narrator did a lot of work. I'm sorry I couldn't give you a five star review.

Disappointing and predictable

A play on The Martian with more people. I believe the story could be better. I suck at writing too.

Great story that i ish didn’t end!

As others have said, books 1 and 3 really shine. The story is suspenseful and exciting and technically interesting. The storyline compressed near the end, and left me feeling like there could and should be more - i wish the series continued for at least one more book!

Well Thought

This is a surprisingly well crafted story. There is no nonsense and all the factual realities of the world, or mars, are sound. the author did a good job creating the setup and narrative of the story with it's characters.

I kept waiting to get disappointed with some massive nonsense, but the author kept it steady all the way through with an interesting plot twist to the foreshadowing.

Story revolves around the first permanent settlement of Mars in a few decades with technology that seems sufficient for the task, but is not unnecessarily specific and descriptive, which will make this story endure no matter what happens in the near future technology wise. the plot does not rely on tech gizmos to move the plot along at all, and actually is just about people interactions, and the related drama that comes from that, with some good storytelling.

This by no means is an amazing unforgettable story but is actually better than most. I recommend it if you enjoy frontiers or mars related stories in this setting.

Finally, the narrator did a very good job keeping the voices different so I was never confused about who was talking, and the cadence and voice was nice to listen to.
