The ship is too far from Earth to simply turn around and return home. The eight-person crew must ride their crippled ship to Mars while they desperately struggle to survive. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOn Earth, powerful political forces that oppose human spaceflight try to use the accident as proof that sending humans into space is too dangerous to continue. The whole human space flight program hangs in the balance. And if the astronauts can't nurse their ship to Mars and back, the voyagers will become either the first Martian colonists--or the first humans to perish on another planet.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAt the publisher's request, this title is sold without DRM (Digital Rights Management).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAbout Mars, Inc.:\u003cbr\u003e\"The Hugo winner returns to his most popular subject: the quest for Mars.\"--Publishers Weekly\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAbout the award winning novels of Ben Bova:\u003cbr\u003e\"Technically accurate and absorbing . . .\"--Kirkus\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"[Bova is] the science fiction author who will have the greatest effect on the world.\"--Ray Bradbury\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"A masterful storyteller\"--Vector\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Gives a good read while turning your eyes to what might be in the not so distant future, just like Clarke and Asimov used to do so well.\"--SFX","brand":"Baen","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47072893174000,"sku":"2940149411429","price":6.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940149411429_p0.jpg?v=1764004451","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940149411429","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
