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.

As we think about going to Mars, I hope that the explorers can control their worst instincts.

Not this one though. Although, my broken brain did force me to reread pages multiple times.
I loved the entire series! Start to finish! Devastated that it's over, but pleased with the ending.
Great series!

Intriguing

Also, the three books were written in a way that when read back-to-back the story was still seamless. You weren’t stuck listening to a 30 min recap of what happened just so you can understand book 2 or 3 in the event you didn’t read the previous book.
Engrossing and Unexpected!

The narrator did create characters voices dissimilar enough that it was fairly easy to interpret who was who, although the “bad” characters in this story all seemed to have been given a predictable eastern European accent, aside from the monotone hybrid human clones. The main antagonist, Dr. “Vongi” (sp?) fulfilled every stereotype that one might find in a poorly conceived James Bond villain, so much so that I imagined the character to be akin to Mike Myers’ portrayal of Dr. Evil in the Austin Powers movies.
It bothers me that our protagonist and hero, Dr. Jann Malbec, was initially portrayed as approaching incompetent at the beginning of the story. This is despite the fact that this character has a PhD and has been through extensive training to be an interplanetary traveler, even if she is a backup crew member. There are myriad examples where this story takes predictable turns and presents ridiculously implausible scenarios, but it would take a much longer essay to share them all. Unfortunately, what began as a very intriguing storyline became a bit of a mess, as did the writing in general, which deteriorated in quality over the course of the trilogy. My sense is that the author himself became bored with the story and just mailed it in to meet a publisher deadline. If you are looking for literary work that compels the reader such as the works of Arthur C Clark or Isaac Asimov, I submit that you’ll be sorely disappointed, just as I am of myself for wasting a credit on this.
At least the narration was passable
