Publisher's Summary

Generation Mars is hard science fiction scaled for kids. Following sisters Cas and Ori, the series explores the nature of life for the first children born on Mars. In this introduction to the series, the sisters have their first experience with the surface of Mars, a milestone that turns out to be bigger than anyone expected.

Future books will address fundamental issues of survival on Mars: air, shelter, water, food, etc. The series strives for scientific accuracy, while telling the very human stories of children growing up in an environment unlike any that children have grown up in before. The audiobook edition is read by Emily Lakdawalla, senior editor and planetary evangelist for The Planetary Society.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.
