In this near-future tale, a wide cast of villains and heroes each have conflicting visions of what comes next including a new method of unleashing geothermal energy to be tested on Mars' volcanoes like the dormant Olympus Mons where the Olympic Village has been built. Olympian lovers Yves Loitte and Terri Finney find themselves in the middle of a power struggle that may end in the destruction of all they hold dear.MARS ARMOR FORGED is a techno thriller for those who love a hard SF showcase and the rich Mars subgenre.Praise from Advance Readers of MARS ARMOR FORGED 2nd Edition: "Ben Parris is a great and memorable storyteller. His characters are fantastic. The writing is wonderful and the imagery is the crisp, logical sort that makes wonderful science fiction."--Chyna B., Ann Arbor, MI"I must say, you really do know how to work your stuff. This reminds me of a Shakespearean play with emerging conflicts in each Act, your soliloquies, intermission... making the viewer come back every time." --Matina M., Sedona, AZ"I find your descriptions of Mars quite amazing, your attention to detail is impeccable, and with every chapter I read, I want to read more."--Justin L., Bridgeport, CT |
