2017 PB in excellent condition. How can a colony on Mars survive when the greatest danger on the planet is humanity itself? All contact is lost with the first privately funded colony on Mars during a long and destructive sandstorm. Satellite imagery of the aftermath shows extensive damage to the facility and the fifty-four colonists who called it home are presumed dead. Three years later, a new mission sets down on the planet surface to investigate what remains of the derelict site. But it's not long before they realize the colony is not as lifeless as everyone thought. Not only that, but mission biologist, Dr. Jann Malbec, discovers that the entire colony had developed into to a human DNA editing experiment-with unsuspecting colonists as the guinea pigs. However, once the truth of what happened is revealed, powerful Earth based corporations begin to fight for control of this extraordinary research.
From recent Amazon/GoodReads reviews: "Great sweeping series. I liked particularly the pace of the books. I liked how easy it was to read. I hope the author continues writing on this series."; "A worthy addition to my Sci-Fi collection. I bought this from reading a review and decided it was worth a shot. A solid read that got me back into this genre for a bit. Recommended."
