EMBARK ON A BOLD NEW JOURNEY WHERE SCIENCE, POWER AND HUMANITY COLLIDE IN THIS SLOW-BURN MARTIAN THRILLER.

It's 2059 and war-scarred journalist Ailia Bax arrives on the stark, unforgiving Red Planet seeking escape from her demons and a new beginning. But she's immediately thrust into the heart of interplanetary politics as relations between Mars and Earth careen towards breaking point.

In the handful of bases scattered across the planet, human and sapient robot Martian settlers are struggling to free themselves from Earth domination and build a new independent society. But how are they going to kick-off the biggest political experiment in the solar system? To what lengths will Terran authorities go, to drag them back under their iron control? Will internal divisions amongst the Martians jeopardize any hopes of freedom? And who will be a terrorist bomber's next target?

Amidst this danger, upheaval and intrigue, Ailia labors to find her place. She will be forced to take sides and with tensions building, her choices might just shape the destiny of an emerging world.

That's if the planet and the bomber don't kill her first...

5 Stars - I really enjoyed this book.

Klyford presents readers with a diverse cast of interesting and likeable characters along with a complicated geopolitical universe for them to navigate, including lots of twists and turns and even a terrorist bomber. The story is captivating and the novel really shines when describing the landscapes of Mars and Phobos. I recommend it to fans of SF political dramas and believable stories about Mars, who will get addicted to the concepts and worldbuilding of this novel.

Couldn't put it down.

At it's heart, this is a well thought out political thriller, albeit a slow-burning one. Set on Mars in 2059, the Red Planet has been settled in a fashion similar to Antarctica with various governments and corporate conglomerates establishing bases/habitats around the planet, but as time has gone by, relations with Earth have gone south and there is now a strong drive amongst the Martians to seek their independence.

Now, I have a love of science fiction books that deep-dive into speculative politics and governance structures, so the novel really appealed to me, although I understand that this type of worldbuilding might not be everyone's cup of tea. That is what's so good about the book, it introduces this stuff without getting bogged down in tedious political discourse and moves along smartly with a bit of action, lots of intrigue and truly beautifully described Martian landscapes - take me there now!

I particularly liked the cast of strong female characters, especially the protagonist Ailia Bax, a former war correspondent, and her inner journey as she grapples with the effects of PTSD. The graphic flashbacks add greatly to her backstory and serve to highlight the challenges she faces in the present. The rest of the characters are interesting and believable, particularly the sentient robots called mecha with which the protagonosit has some insightful metaphysical/philosophical conversations. Oh, and did I mention there's a terrorist threat permeating the whole story?

While this novel might not redefine the genre, it's a very engrossing read and a serious exploration of the potential issues we could face when we finally get off-planet - I highly recommended it.
