What if we’re not alone in the Universe? Georgia Pyke is about to learn the truth, but at what cost? 2034 – Boots on Mars. America wins yet another space race. Human exploration and colonization of the Red Planet can begin. Earth’s resources are diminishing. Against a backdrop of global unrest, hunger, disease and poverty, the Earth’s superpowers send their most courageous astronauts on separate missions to conquer a brave new world! Mission specialist Georgia Pyke arrives on Mars with bold ideals for the future. She wants to create a colony that doesn’t contain the petty rivalries and jealousies of Earth. She just needs to find a way to achieve her goal when the colonist’s main focus is on surviving the hostile environment. When a near-death experience opens Georgia’s eyes to much larger possibilities that could alter the future of the entire human race, she inadvertently sets a deadly chain of events in motion. Little does she know there is a traitor in their midst. Someone who has been holding a grudge for six years. A grudge that has been silently festering and waiting for an opportunity for revenge. And murder is about to be the first crime committed on Mars. Can Georgia prevent a tragedy from occurring to the colonists?

The characters are well formed, believable and very human."- J Bee ★★★★★ "Excellent book. I did not expect what was coming later in the book. Very well done by Mr Rix. I will read more of his books." - Jerry S About the Mars Frontier series This sci-fi series sets out humanity's early attempts to build a colony on Mars. The science included in my books is (largely) conceivable based on current technology and what is being researched by government organisations such as NASA and ESA as well as private companies such as Blue Origin, SpaceX and Boeing. In other words, what’s technically possible with either current technology or taking experimental research a step or two further. That said, you won’t need to be a rocket scientist to enjoy the story.
