| Abstract: | The third manned expedition from Earth to Mars. And there seems to be no way back... The author is scientist in the Mars mission team of NASA - and you can tell from his detailed description of the marsian landscape. But another strong side of this book is the detailed description of all the characters - and what a mix of characters it is! |
| Quotation: | They were tired, and then more than tired, a complete weariness that transcended all consciousness. The world compressed down to one step, then another, then another. The landscape had changed color, darkening from the light, almost orange color of their original landing site to a dark burned-brick color. They were walking on bare bedrock. But none of them looked at the landscape, none of them focused any farther than the next step. |
