Mars One

By: Jonathan Maberry

Narrated by: MacLeod Andrews

Tristan has known that he and his family were going to be on the first mission to colonize Mars since he was 12 years old, and he has been training ever since. But knowing that he would be leaving for Mars with no plan to return didn't stop him from falling in love with Izzy. Now, at age 16, it's time to leave Earth, and he's forced to face what he must leave behind in exchange for an uncertain future.

When the news hits that another ship is already headed to colonize Mars, and the Neo-Luddite terrorist group begins threatening the Mars One project, the mission's purpose is called into question. Is this all worth it?

A very different Maberry - NOT HORROR

This is a sweet, sappy, adventure story spiced lightly with science. There's a little bit of violence in it but not much. I'd almost have to put in the YA category. It was good, if a bit too sappy at times. The science and the rigors of travel were over simplified a bit and overall plot a bit predictable, but it's a good story and well told.

Just don't expect this to be "Rot and Ruin" because it's definitely not that.

Where do we go from here?

To Mars of course. And as soon as possible. We need Martians to fix our problems here on Earth.

Great story and super narrator.

Easy enjoyable listen

Why the last chapter, it seemed to be poor choice of ending to an otherwise interesting story.

Great listen

The story was very creative and exciting. It kept my attention the whole time. And the performance was excellent!

Enthralling. Quality storytelling!

This voice actor truly made it so great! The story kept me engaged. The accents were amazing. Now I want to look for more from this author and from this voice actor.
