A call for help sends Sig into the Tartarus Mountains of Mars. Delivering repair parts to his mother offers a temporary escape from his miserable life in the colony, but there are dangers in her cavern and on the surface of the hostile Red Planet he hadn't expected.
The Big Project is conquering the Martian landscape with Sig's robots but his own life's falling apart. Frustrations in the lab and clashes with his partner leave him despondent. Now, both love and peril await him among the miners who live in the cavern and explore the surrounding mountains for rare crystalline minerals. Rogues steal Sig's rider - his way home - and since no one's ever seen the Hermit, blind trust in his life support systems could be deadly.
Join Sig exploring rugged mountains under Martian moons and daring the strange dunes of the Amazon Plain. He's going to save his mother and the others who live in the cavern whether they accept his help or not. Provided he survives.
Colonizing Mars belongs to today's headlines from NASA, Mars One, The Mars Society, SpaceX, and others. Follow the growing excitement for discovery and exploration away from the early fantasies of Edgar Rice Burroughs to Ben Bova [The Grand Tour Mars], Kim Stanley Robinson [Red Mars], and Andy Weir [The Martian]. To Kate Rauner's On Mars series - a colony you might live in someday.
