    About this ebook

    For the first humans on Mars, everything is a challenge. But nobody on the team expected the most vicious struggles to be against the politicians back home. Mission funding is threatened, and asking for fresh supplies may cause the plug to be pulled on the whole thing. This is no time for Curtis to discover he has feelings for Molly. And it's certainly no time to discover a crisis that may leave the new Martians too dead to care about their budget.

After living on Maui and in Southern California, he got sick of the mild weather and moved home to eastern Nebraska, where he lives with his wife, a bunch of kids, and second pet tortoise--the first one ran away.
