A race to Mars that could decide the fate of mankind

Astronaut Jenny Nelson is assigned to fly to the Martian moon Phobos to recover an object that may be alien technology. The Russians and Chinese are also preparing a recovery mission and want to be the first to get there. Jenny embarks with a team on a hastily prepared mission that turns into a race against the Eastern powers. Even during the flight itself, the smallest glitch could mean death. And nobody really knows what awaits them on the Martian moon.
Realistic, exciting, scientifically sound – great for readers of Cixin Liu.
