Surface Tension: Colony Five Mars - Gerald M. Kilby

Descriere

nA devastating dust storm. A colony on the edge of extinction. nOnly one person can save them. But first they need to start a revolution. n nIn the midst of the most devastating dust storm in the history of Mars, the survival of the half million people who call it home is hanging in the balance. n nYet for Major Mia Sorelli, of the Mars Law and Order Department, it's just another sol at the office - another sol trying to keep the desperate and angry citizens from tearing themselves apart. n nBut when she's sent to investigate the death of a fellow officer in the lawless industrial city of Syrtis, she begins to suspect that the endless dust storm may not be the only thing threatening their survival. n nWith the help of her semi-sentient droid, Gizmo, they uncover a plot so heinous that her faith in humanity is almost shattered - and the only way for her to get it back, and save the colony, is to start a goddamn revolution. n nAbout Surface Tension: nThis is the fifth book in a Sci-Fi series set in a human colony on Mars, but it can also be read as a stand-alone novel. The science depicted is, for the most part, plausible. In other words, what's technically possible with either current technology or taking experimental research a step or two further. That said, you won't need a calculator or a slide-rule to enjoy the story. n nCan be read as a stand-alone novel. n nReading Order: nBook 1: Colony One Mars nBook 2: Colony Two Mars nBook 3: Colony Three Mars (Completes the trilogy) nBook 4: Jezero City, Colony Four Mars (Can be read as a stand-alone novel) nBook 5: Surface Tension, Colony Five Mars (Can be read as a stand-alone novel) n n nn
