The mission objective is more than just building the infrastructure of a habitat – they are trying to preserve the many cultures and nuances of life on Earth without importing the hate.<br /> But from the moment she arrives, something is off.<br /> Disturbing signs hint at a hidden disaster during the First Mars Expedition that never made it into the official transcript. As Elma and her crew try to investigate, they face a wall of silence and obfuscation. Their attempts to build a thriving Martian community grind to a halt.<br /> What you don't know CAN harm you. And if the truth doesn't come to light, the ripple effects could leave humanity stranded on a dying Earth...<br /> <b>Lady Astronaut</b><br /> <i>The Calculating Stars<br /> The Fated Sky<br /> The Relentless Moon<br /> The Martian Contingency</i><br /> At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.</p>.
