FOUND IN SPACE...
Jennifer may be the luckiest grad student ever. The PhD-to-be is part of a scientific team that made an amazing discovery on Mars with a tool she helped design.
What the discovery means for us Earthlings looks huge. A harmless microbe she nicknamed “Crimsy,” it may have brought the first life to Earth, hitching a ride on rocks or dust from the Red Planet billions of years ago.
But to find out for sure means studies and tests in labs here at home.
Not so fast, say corporate and government special interests. They’re holding our history-making visitor hostage on an orbiting space station and drawing Jennifer and crew into a global battle for control.
How do six scientists and three space station astronauts—as scrappy as they are dedicated—fight world governments, competing claims, patent lawyers, Homeland Security, the FBI—and two trillionaires with hidden agendas who helped finance the expedition?
How will they bring Crimsy back to the planet it might have helped create?
Forced into the fray against overwhelming personal and professional odds, Jennifer must solve some key mysteries of her own life as she leads a charge to solve the mystery of life itself.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Physicist and science journalist Michael Martin has written hundreds of stories about dedicated scientists, researchers, and innovators whose joys, frustrations, bottlenecks, and breakthroughs push the bounds of possibility, the boundaries of space, and the limits of human understanding.
