Jamie Waterman has always dreamed of Mars. Now he’s walking on it.
As a young Navajo geologist, Jamie is selected for the first manned mission to the red planet. Alongside a diverse team of scientists and astronauts, he sets out to explore a world that has captivated human imagination for centuries. But Mars is no welcoming frontier. Harsh terrain, political infighting, and a discovery that challenges everything they thought they knew threaten to derail the mission.
When the crew uncovers a massive canyon that dwarfs anything on Earth, they face a choice that could alter the future of humanity.
Mars is a visionary science fiction epic from Grand Master Ben Bova, blending scientific realism with gripping exploration. This is not just first contact with a planet—it is first contact with destiny.
