Publisher's summary

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.

I was definitely entertained by this series and hope that the billionaire class driving much of space exploration ambition could benefit by this story.

Ohhhh Gizmo

Cool and realistic perspective on if Mars would become occupied. The narrator did a great job on accents and emotions!

Great series!

As a severe adhd person, I have a bad habit of unintentionally skipping over parts of books.
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.

Vetry Good Trilogy But Long

This is a very good book with very good narration. I read it all at one time but if I had it to do over again would break it up between books to get a break. Will do that we the next and final trilogy after a break with something different.

Not a very action packed story very slow

Did not like how slow the story was and how little action there was. The premise about alphas and betas was poorly or orchestrated and seemed to be null and void in the later part of the story. The performance is the only thing that saves this listen

Great concepts with mediocre to bad execution.

Frustrating to listen to because of the low quality story telling. But interesting enough conceptually that I ordered the next three books.

Entertaining, quick pace, with likeable characters.

I liked the story and characters. The narrator was pretty good for the dialog parts, but a little... not sure if pretentious sounding is the right term, but for the non dialog parts she kind of had that William Shatner, trying to hard to get the words out sound. But it wasn't bad. Perhaps I'm the one being pretentious.
I enjoyed the story overall for what it was though. I'll probably give it another listen down the road sometime.
