The year is 2051. Every probe sent to reconnoiter up close of Candor Canyon, Mars has failed. Accidents? NASA Director, Ken Hsu, thinks not. Suspecting a sinister hand, he surreptiously re-directs the latest probe sent to Mars from its destined mission plan, toward Candor where it finds an anomaly, an ancient structure not wrought by natural random processes. DoD immediately steps in to investigate, much to the chagrin of President Diane Keynes, who worries not only about the ever-increasing influence DoD exerts over space exploration, but also fears any semblance of catastrophe will sink her re-election bid in the coming year. Blinded by ambition, and her hatred for Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Henry Santos, she is unaware of an odious danger much closer to her than a dead alien ruin on Mars, much more present and quite alive, threatening her administration, her sanity, and her life. Though tough, strong willed, and astute, she needs help. Will she get it before it's too late? At risk is more than her singular life. All humanity on Earth could suffer should she fail.

"Rare blend of horror and futuristic science fiction, once you start reading this book it's almost impossible to put down." -- Dana Ivers on Mars is Away From Shelter
Good read, mate. -- Michael Ritchie on Mars is Away From Shelter

From the Publisher
We thought about breaking this one up into two books, but decided against that marketing ploy. Though two principal threads interweave through this story, it really is all one big whopping tale.

Absolutely Brilliant!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Mars is...Away From Shelter. (Paperback)
This is terror. This is horror. This one seizes you by the throat and scares the hell out of you. And it is funny. Really, there are moments when I literally laughed my rear-end off. And it is sad. It tears your heart out and then makes you mad as hell! Absolutely brilliant!
