To the harsh landscape of Sol's fourth planet travel thirteen astronauts, the best scientists from eleven nations, on a history-making voyage into the unknown. The international crew of the Mars mission have spent nine months in space, crossing 100 million kilometres to reach the last great frontier. Their voyage is fraught with disputes, both personal and political, and their time on Mars limited to "footprints and flags": yet while there they come face-to-face with the most incredible and shocking discovery of all.
Six-times Hugo Award-winner Ben Bova combines masterful fiction and scientific fact in his most ambitious novels yet - earthbound politics, space technology and the writer's imagination combine with sheer storytelling in this epic novel that captures the mystery and wonder of an alien frontier.
