About this ebook

During an emergency evacuation from the plains of Acidalia Planitia, botanist Franklin Mercer is impaled by a telemetry antenna and left for dead on Mars. Awakening alone in the sub-zero environment with a compromised spacesuit and a healing abdominal wound, Franklin must utilize his scientific expertise to survive. With only a limited supply of rations, he undertakes the daunting task of converting the Habitat’s interior into a makeshift farm, synthesizing water from toxic hydrazine, and modifying transport rovers into a heavy-duty "rover train." To establish contact with Earth, Franklin embarks on a treacherous thousands-of-kilometers journey across the rugged Martian highlands to retrieve a legacy space probe. Meanwhile, aboard the transit ship Hermes, his crew receives proof of his survival and must make a high-stakes decision to alter their trajectory, risking their own lives to return for him.
