Charlie7 is the progenitor of a mechanical race he built from the ashes of a dead world—Earth. He is a robot of leisure and idle political meddling—a retirement well-earned. Or he was, until a human girl named Eve was dropped in his lap. Geneticists have restored Earth’s biome and begun repopulation. But primate cloning is in its infancy; human cloning is banned. Far from a failed genetics experiment, Eve is brilliant, curious, and heartbreakingly naïve about her species’ history. But Eve’s creator wants her back and has a gruesome fate planned for her.

From the Audie-nominated narrator of The Martian. In eleven years' time, a million members of an alien race will arrive at Earth. Years before they enter orbit, their approach will be announced by the flare of a thousand flames in the sky, their ships' huge engines burning hard to slow them from the vast speeds needed to cross interstellar space. These foreboding lights will shine in our night sky like new stars, getting ever brighter until they outshine even the sun, casting ominous shadows and banishing the night until they suddenly blink out.

Publisher's summary
Author Dan Logan lives in Houston, America's "Space City," home of the Johnson Space Center. Whether at the controls of the legendary Spruce Goose or his own aircraft, Logan is fascinated by aviation and space and time.
Logan began pursuing his writing interest with his Ancient Secrets series of time-travel novels, The First Migration, The Lost Portal, and The Spirit Gate.
Logan then began a Deep Space Travel series with the novel, The Phobos Expedition, about a NASA mission to the tiny Martian moon, Phobos, and the stunning discovery about its origin.
In the book, Logan melds the western heritage of Texas and NASA’s space program into an exciting tale of intrigue.
His second book in the Deep Space Travel series, The Deimos Incident, has just been released. A catastrophe originating on the smaller Martian moon, Deimos, yields a clue that changes our concept of the universe.
Logan's latest work is The Martian Enigma, where astronauts landing on Mars make a puzzling find that threatens their safe return.
Logan is a graduate of Purdue University known as the "Cradle of Astronauts" for its many alumni in the space program, including Neil Armstrong, the first man on the moon.
Upon graduation, Logan's career with DuPont culminated with him becoming a plant manager and ultimately leading the corporation’s global energy conservation program.
Logan's books put science back in science fiction yet retain strong character-driven plots.

In August 1968 NASA made a bold decision: In just 16 weeks, the United States would launch humankind's first flight to the moon. Only the year before, three astronauts had burned to death in their spacecraft, and since then the Apollo program had suffered one setback after another. Meanwhile, the Russians were winning the space race, the Cold War was getting hotter by the month, and President Kennedy's promise to put a man on the moon by the end of the decade seemed sure to be broken.

In August 1968 NASA made a bold decision: In just 16 weeks, the United States would launch humankind's first flight to the moon. Only the year before, three astronauts had burned to death in their spacecraft, and since then the Apollo program had suffered one setback after another. Meanwhile, the Russians were winning the space race, the Cold War was getting hotter by the month, and President Kennedy's promise to put a man on the moon by the end of the decade seemed sure to be broken.

Among them was USAF Colonel Mike Mullane, who, in his memoir Riding Rockets, strips the heroic veneer from the astronaut corps and paints them as they are - human.

On June 30, 1908, an object fell from the sky, releasing more energy than a thousand Hiroshima bombs. A Siberian forest was flattened, but the strike left no significant crater. The anomaly came to be known as the Tunguska Event, and scientists have never agreed whether it was the largest meteor strike in recorded history - or something else. Alien artifacts have been uncovered since the 1908 event, and a new star drive is discovered.

Boss loves to dive historical ships, derelict spacecraft found adrift in the blackness between the stars. Sometimes she salvages for money, but mostly she's an active historian. She wants to know about the past--to experience it firsthand. Once she's dived the ship, she'll either leave it for others to find or file a claim so that she can bring tourists to dive it as well. It's a good life for a tough loner, with more interest in artifacts than people.

Roger Torraway watched in horror as the monster lurched, toppled over and died. Project Man Plus had gone suddenly and drastically wrong. The race to colonize Mars was too important, too costly, and America was already too committed, for plans to be scrapped. They would have to make a new Martian. And Roger Torraway was it, candidate for the endless surgery, operation after painful operation, that would enable him to survive on that faraway planet.

In retaliation for the attack, a group of American tourists is ambushed in Osaka, and then Japanese-Americans become targets across the United States.

Daniel Logan's Best Work Yet!
I've been a fan of Daniel Logan's novels since the first "Deep Space Travel to Mars" book, "The Deimos Incident." His writing is well-researched, exciting, and just plain fun. This third book in the series, "The Martian Enigma." is no exception. Logan has definitely brought his A game with Enigma. It has it all, spectacular space adventure, lovers separated by the vastness of space, and a beautiful rogue android. Don't miss out. Give this one a listen.
