Publisher's Summary

What if Earth’s premier scientific genius Elon Musk and his space rocket technology were taken over by a desperate alien civilization?

Brimming with suspense and intrigue, the mind-blowing science fiction novel The Martian Among Us takes readers on an action-packed thrill ride, as serial entrepreneur Elon Musk becomes the target of an intricate plot by a secret Martian settlement to rescue their civilization from certain destruction.

A secret underground civilization powered and heated by liquid magma has been living in an underground city on the planet Mars. The Martians are highly intelligent but very isolated beings, as Mars’ frigid surface temperatures keeps them far below ground. Now, there are signs that the core’s magma is rising too quickly and threatens to wipe out the underground city. The threat of imminent destruction forces President Jav to devise a plan for moving the civilization away from Mars and onto another planet. He entrusts Dor, the city's only scientist, to build a spaceship that would allow him to explore outer space and find a nearby planet that can support Martian life.

Dor gets more than he bargained for when his spaceship crashes onto a nearby planet called Earth. It is the year 2002 on Earth, and Elon Musk is a rising young serial entrepreneur living in California. Little did Elon know that his genius mind and vast fortune would end up being taken over by Dor, who would become his doppelganger. Dor takes over Elon's identity on Earth, while the real Elon vanishes into thin air.

Now, in this powerful and resourceful position, the new Elon Musk impersonator has plans to create a new spacecraft on Earth that will take him back to Mars and save his people from the doom that awaits them. However, the people closest to Elon start to develop suspicions about his true intentions, or whether he is even the real Elon Musk at all.

Will the real Elon Musk stay on Earth and continue his vital space travel research, or will Dor succeed and use Elon’s technology to save his people?
