Synopsis
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 colony had developed into to a full scale human DNA editing experiment—with unsuspecting colonists as the guinea pigs. However, once the truth of what went on is revealed, powerful Earth based corporations begin to fight for control of this extraordinary research. Yet, Dr. Malbec realizes that returning this research to Earth has the potential to doom humanity to a worldwide pandemic of apocalyptic proportions. So she must do everything she can to prevent this from happening—even if it means that she might never see her home planet again.

It was like reading an old school scifi, entertaining and thought provoking.’ About Colony Mars: The story is set in a near-future human colony on Mars. The science and technology depicted is, for the most part, what I consider to be technically plausible, although I do stretch it a little here and there. That said, you won’t need a calculator or a slide-rule to enjoy the story.
