About this listen

After months of travel, Anna Kubrick finally arrives on Mars for her new job as a geologist and de facto artist-in-residence. She'll be on Mars for over a year. Throwing herself into her work, she tries her best to fit in with the team.

Anna finds a mysterious note, written in her own handwriting, she can't remember writing. Her wedding ring has been replaced by a fake. A footprint in a place the colony AI claims has never been visited by humans. Is she caught up in an elaborate corporate conspiracy, or is she actually losing her mind?

Written and read by Emma Newman.

This series just keeps getting better and better. Interesting and well written/narrated. No idea why it hasn't won numerous awards.

Excellent

20% of this book was a compelling sci-fi mystery set on Mars and incorporating evolving plot elements from the first 2 books in the series. Unfortunately the other 80% (my estimate) was a meditation on the psychology of maternal bonding, marriage, relationship challenges and associated guilt. Great in a contemporary adult dramatic fiction novel, but taking up too much of the sci-fi real estate in this novel for my tastes.

A rumination on motherhood, relationships, domestic violence and loss
