After years of effort, Dr. Steve Johnson and his team at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory celebrate the landing of their HabiPrep lander on Mars, which will begin constructing a habitat for future astronauts.
Their celebration is curtailed when an uncharted object suddenly appears on a crash course to Mars, turning the JPL mission sideways. New questions arise when the object is found to be other than it seemed, questions which may provide a terrifying answer to Fermi's famous question: "where is everybody?"
In his debut novel, Bacil Donovan Warren (author of With It or in It: Desert Shield and Desert Storm from the Loader's Hatch) crafts a gripping hard sci-fi tale. Readers have been unanimously positive, saying it "was hard to find stopping points when I needed to put the book down," that "the adventure within pulled me and held tight," and that the story "pulls you in."
Bacil Donovan Warren is an author and military veteran. After serving with the US Army Europe’s 3rd Armored Division as a tank gunner and loader, he deployed as a loader on an M1A1 tank with the 3d Armored Cavalry Regiment from Ft. Bliss, TX for Operation Desert Shield. Later, he served his community as a Paramedic and a CPR instructor before becoming a full-time author.
Donovan currently lives in Tucson, AZ.
