About this listen

How can a colony on Mars survive when the greatest danger on the planet is humanity itself?

All contact is lost with the first privately funded colony on Mars during a long and destructive sandstorm. Satellite imagery of the aftermath shows extensive damage to the facility. The 54 colonists who called it home are presumed dead.

Sometime later, a new mission sets down on the planet surface to investigate what remains of the derelict site, and crew biologist Dr. Jann Malbec soon discovers that the facility had developed into to a full-blown human DNA editing experiment - with unsuspecting colonists as the guinea pigs.

However, now that the truth of what was going on in the colony is revealed, powerful Earth-based corporations begin to fight for control of this extraordinary genetic research. But Dr. Malbec begins to realize that returning this technology to Earth could doom humanity to a worldwide pandemic of apocalyptic proportions. She must do everything she can to prevent that from happening - even if it means that she might never see her home planet again.

Great concept. Major issue for me was two fold. 1/ Firstly the narration. I stuck with the books as the concept was great and I wanted to know what happens next unfortunately this was taxed at points ad the narrates annoyed me with the constant intonation and one moment giving an accent for a character to then forget she has done one for that character previously. This may seen little but your brain builds that relationship and this challenged it when you are multi tasking. 2/ Concept great, but why on so many occasions that made me nearly switch off are characters who to go to Mars are usually very intelligent make poor decisions or misjudgement that could be so easily avoided. In my head I kept asking myself are these people morons? That being said coming back to concept it was to my mind original so worth a listen if you can put up with the narration and poor decision making by seemingly intelligent people.

The cincwpt was great and quite original. Would make a great film series.

Pretty easy to predict every twist and turn, but I still enjoyed it. Got a bit tedious in book 3

Nice easy story, not very sophisticated something I would have enjoyed reading during the holidays when I was 12 or 13

disliked the histrionic character of jan. 1 dimensional, formulaic and terrible accents by narrator of other nationalities. in my time with audible this is the worst series I have ever listened to- don’t waste your money 🤣
