The Martian Dawn

by Robert James

The first manned mission to Mars tragically ends when the crew capsule crashes into the Red Planet – a fiery comet that kills all aboard. Except one. A survivor, marooned millions of miles from home, fights to survive the most hostile environment ever encountered. Sinclair Bosco struggles as authorities deny his very existence all in the name of politics and greed. Millions of dollars were made when the mission failed, all thanks to one person disabling a parachute. Sinclair’s survival creates a chaotic whirlwind of activity on Earth. Join him as he fights sandstorms and sabotage to find a way to tell the world what he’s We are not alone. There’s a conspiracy creeping through the White House seeking to cash in on the disaster and the government relentlessly hunts the few who know the real story – including NASA engineer Andrea Meyer. She discovers what happened and barely escapes Mission Control with her life. She leads FBI and Homeland Security agents on a cross-country race for the truth. Teaming with former NASA scientists and a couple high school kids along the way, she tries desperately to help the astronaut release the biggest news story in mankind’s history. Up on Mars, however, Sinclair may just beat her to it. Instead of resigning himself to a solitary death on a lonely world, he’s been exploring. Deep in the Martian caves he discovers the key to humanity’s survival and the secret of man’s existence on Earth. And also in those caves he finds ancestors of the first humans – those who seeded our planet with life millions of years before. Abandoned by the rest of the world, Sinclair seeks the means to send his message to the masses. . And in his search, he may have found his own way home. “A great idea for a story,” featuring “consistently good use of language…enjoy watching the characters unfold.” See what The Martian Dawn brings…

"NASA loses contact with Mars mission." Captain Sinclair Bosco has just survived 9 months on a trip to Mars only to have it end in a crash landing. He is the sole survivor, he wakes up wondering if Mars Heaven would be different than the one on Earth. Meanwhile, there is no news on Earth for his family and others watching the Mars mission. The story evolves with an attempted cover-up by NASA of the events on Mars. Bosco is sending messages and getting no response from NASA. Finally, he is contacted by Andrea Meyer, a NASA employee on the run because she knows there is a survivor on Mars. The story line alternates between Earth and Mars and it's possible there is life on Mars...but I shouldn't give that away. I admit I was more interested in the Mars storyline and would like a sequel or prequel. Give this book a try!

Great read

It keeps me on pins and needles wondering if the government was going win. Hoping there is a second book.
