Mars Child

Mars Crossing
by Geoffrey A. LandisFrom the book Jacket: Geoffrey A. Landis is widely acknowledged as one of the finest science fiction writers working today. A NASA scientist who played an important role in the Mars Pathfinder mission, he is also a winner of the Hugo and Nebula Awards for acclaimed stories such as "Ripples in the Dirac Sea" and "A Walk in the Sun," and has earned high praise from readers and critics alike for his skillful fusion of compelling storytelling and state-of-the-art science. Now, with Mars Crossing, Landis has at last created the novel he was meant to write: a powerful and exciting saga of danger, courage, and survival rendered with vivid realism and informed by the latest breakthroughs in science and technology. By the middle of the twenty-first century, after decades of setbacks, humanity has finally achieved a manned landing on Mars-only to watch helplessly as the members of the mission perish in a catastrophic accident. When a second mission ends tragically as well, the world begins to turn its back on manned space exploration. With time and resources running out, a third-and perhaps final-mission to Mars is hastily mounted, with a crew of four men and two women: John Radkowski, veteran pilot and mission commander; Ryan Martin, quiet, dedicated systems engineer; Cham Limpigomolchai, a brilliant Thai geologist; Tana Jackson, an exacting mission biologist; Estrela Conselheiro, a fiery Brazilian whose husband was lost on the first Mars mission, and Trevor Whitman, a brash young man who gains his place on the mission through an international lottery. From the moment of their landing on Mars, everything begins to go wrong. The fuel tanks that were to have supplied their return trip are found corroded and empty. Their supplies are running out and their life support systems are beginning to fail. And any rescue mission won't reach them for months, or even years-if help comes at all. The crew's only hope for survival lies in a daring and desperate plan: an agonizing trek halfway across the surface of Mars to find an abandoned ship designed to carry only half their number. Torn by conflict and dissent, and troubled by secrets that endanger their slight chance for survival, they must embark on a harrowing ordeal that will test them to the limits of human endurance.

Mars: Stories
by Asja BakicA debut collection of darkly humorous, feminist speculative fiction from the Balkans, “sly, uncommon stories” by “a major talent” (Jeff VanderMeer, award-winning author of Hummingbird Salamander).Mars showcases a series of unique and twisted universes, where every character is tasked with making sense of their strange reality. One woman will be freed from purgatory once she writes the perfect book; another abides in a world devoid of physical contact. With wry prose and skewed humor, an emerging feminist writer explores twenty-first century promises of knowledge, freedom, and power.“Bakic’s stories are a dark delight—a treasury of forbidden pleasures, moments of resistance and resilience, and terrifying possibilities.” —Strange Horizons“At turns funny, surreal, and grounded in simple language but flung through twisted realities, the stories in this collection are provocative and utterly readable.” —The Brooklyn Rail“Skillfully disorienting.” —BUST“There’s an immediacy to Bakic’s offbeat worldview, sometimes strange and surreal, sometimes terrifying and upsetting, that pairs perfectly with the madness of the current political moment.” —Locus Magazine“Bosnian writer Bakic’s debut teems with the oddball narratives of George Saunders, the eerie atmosphere of Edgar Allan Poe, and the feminist intellect of Marge Piercyc. . . Told in a straightforward manner that transports speculative fiction into almost realist territory, Bakic’s collection imaginatively and strikingly examines sci-fi tropes from not only the point of view of women, but also from the voice of an effortlessly gifted writer whose future is much brighter than that of those depicted in her stories.” —Publishers Weekly (starred review)
