Conn Garrow, the Girl on the Moon, returns in a new adventure with more advanced tech, more dangerous aliens, and higher stakes than she's ever faced. An adventure with narrow escapes, impossible rescues, harrowing spacewalks and splashdowns, multimillion dollar deals, marooned astronauts, and even some fistfighting. *Girl on Mars* is the sequel to *Girl on the Moon* (ASIN: B0198Q3NG4), which Amazon reviewers called "a realistic, intelligent barn-burner" and a "thoroughly enjoyable, imaginative, wild-ride of a story."
Humankind's first interstellar journey--a jaunt to the home system of the Aphelials, a race that threatens humanity's very existence--doesn't go exactly as planned for Conn and her friend and fellow traveler Yongpo. But the astronauts do manage to gather intelligence that will make history and change the world. It will also set Conn on a path that will lead her to the fourth planet from our Sun. Mars could be the key to the survival of the Earth, and it's up to Conn to learn the red planet's secrets before the Aphelials arrive in force. She'll have to survive the months-long trip and a dangerous landing, be strong, keep her wits, have no fear, and make the right friends. And she'll have to hope it's all enough to turn back an overwhelmingly powerful and ruthless enemy bent on the annihilation of our entire species.
