Riassunto

A wrecked starship. A dead man’s mind. In a desperate race across Mars, Maggie must unravel their secrets before the Tharks erase them forever.

Commander Gray of the United Colonies Space Force died when his experimental ship crashed on Mars, but a backup of his mind survived.

When Maggie discovers the wreck a century later, she becomes the target of a psychopathic rival intent on stealing the ship, and a hive of weaponized lifeforms bent on erasing the backup.

It is only after she restores Gray's backup in the body of a battered warbot that she learns his deadly secret: his ship was capable of traveling faster than light, which makes it an incredibly valuable and terribly dangerous prize, for a starship is the ultimate weapon of mass destruction.

"Franklin’s space drama is vast in scope and in its efforts to create a new world with all new life forms and language. The premise is irresistible, and the narrative’s alternating perspectives across very different time periods on the Mars colonies work well." – Kirkus Reviews

Informazioni sull'autore

Doug Franklin was born and raised in Alaska, and lives there today. An obsession with spaceflight took him to MIT, where he was average at best, except in Joe Haldeman's science fiction classes, which lit him right up. Alas after publishing a few short stories, the need to make money to pay for all the things resulted in a long hiatus from the field. One thing led to many others, but eventually he joined the pandemic's Great Resignation and returned to his old true love of writing science fiction. Since then he has published a novel - The Extrapolated Man - and sold a short story to Analog Science Fiction and Fact, with more on the way!
