“SCI-FI THAT SOARS.” -Kirkus, starred review
Grounded for her Top Gun attitude, a young Mars colony pilot jumps at the chance to fly a covert mission to off-limits Earth and save her world from starvation. On Earth, Chancellor Lucca keeps a dystopian peace through a competitive consciousness-transfer program, offering perfect bodies to those who toe the line. Pilot Jessamyn’s orders are simple: get the food and get out, minimizing contact. But when the pilot’s brilliant autistic brother is captured and charged with treason, all bets are off. Jess finds an ally in Pavel, the Chancellor’s rebel nephew, and now she’s got a choice to make: rescue her brother or save Mars?
Saving Mars is a Sci-Fi series with a Golden Age feel, featuring interplanetary politics, adventure, and light romance that’s perfect for fans of Pierce Brown’s Red Rising or Mary Robinette Kowal’s Lady Astronaut series.
