- More about Sands of Mars
Sequel to THE MOON AND THE DESERT!
Saving the Marsbase One mission made Glenn A. Shep Shepard a hero. Commanding Marsbase itself might get him killed.
Colonel ShepardEarths first fully bionic augmentee and the man who once crossed interplanetary space to pull off an impossible rescue (The Moon and the Desert)finally reaches Mars. His new command sits under the Eumenides Dorsum ridge on Amazonis Planitia, a city hewn into caverns where life is math and margin: closed-loop ecosystems, strictly rationed propellant, and minutes-long lightspeed comms lag.
While Shepard grapples with distance from his wife and newborn daughter on Earth, whispers of sabotage, industrial espionage, and anti-bionics prejudice begin to erode trust inside the base. Then a rival coalitions colony ship goes off course and slams into the canyons of Noctis Labyrinthus, far across the Tharsis highlands.
Theres no shuttle landing, no cavalryonly engineering, endurance, and a commander whose augmented body can go where others cant. To pull survivors out of the crash before Mars itself finishes them, Shepard must design a rescue that physics barely permits and politics would rather avoid.
Scientifically rigorous yet deeply human, The Sands of Mars is the high-stakes sequel to The Moon and the Deserta novel about leadership under pressure, and the price of keeping a frontier alive.
