Mars Audiobook (Free)

This grand epic adventure from six-time Hugo Award-winning author Ben Bova tells the irresistible story of man’s first mission to that great unconquered frontier, Mars-a planet pocked by meteors, baked by ultraviolet light, and included in endless deserts the colour of dried blood. Technically plausible and compellingly individual, Bova’s story explores the politics, scientific, and social repercussions of our greatest quest however: the search for evidence of life beyond Earth’s limitations.

Half-Navajo geologist Jamie Waterman continues to be selected for the bottom team of the initial manned expedition to our mysterious neighbor world. Joining an international team of twenty-five astronauts and researchers, he endures the rigors of teaching, the risks of traveling an incredible distance in space, the problems of the alien scenery, and the personal and political issues that arise when the group must face one of the most stunning discovery of most.

Mars can be an unforgettable family portrait of space, politics, research, and mankind that captures forever the mystery and wonder of an alien frontier.
