Synopsis

Tristan has known that he and his family were going to be on the first mission to colonize Mars since he was twelve years old, and he has been training ever since. But knowing that he would be leaving for Mars with no plan to return didn’t stop him from falling in love with Izzy. Now, at age sixteen, it’s time to leave Earth, and he’s forced to face what he must leave behind in exchange for an uncertain future. When the news hits that another ship is already headed to colonize Mars, and the Neo-Luddite terrorist group begins threatening the Mars One project, the mission’s purpose is called into question. Is this all worth it?

Goodreads review by Lauren on July 19, 2021

This book was good, but not quite there for me. What I did enjoy was a lot of the science talk because it wasn't ever too much, it was a good mix. The characters were there, but I felt like they could have been more fleshed out than they were. What I didn't like as much was how predictable it was, I......more

Goodreads review by Kelly on August 16, 2018

I was expecting this to be a hell of a lot better than it was. I kept waiting for it to get exciting and it just never does. You can identify the "mysterious saboteur" from a mile away and I think that teens, who this book is intended for, will be able to figure it out just as easily. Blah. Disappoi......more
