Synopsis

A stubborn technologist takes her robots to Mars with no guarantee her outpost destination is viable.

Emma Winters is keen to win her distant father's respect and claim a place in history. While training to join the first settlement on another planet, she's shocked to learn one of the pioneers has walked out the tiny habitat's airlock to their death. Despite mounting worries over the trials that await her, the determined scientist launches into orbit and departs Earth forever.

But her team's landing craft crashes, and Emma fears the pilot’s death may have been murder. As suspicions divide the colonists, she grows desperate to discover what's sabotaging the colony before the first humans on Mars become the last.

In Glory on Mars, Kate Rauner weaves a tale of realistic science fiction. Life on a hostile world demands courage, sacrifice, and resilience. Dare to join the adventure.
