This grand epic adventure from six-time Hugo Award–winning author Ben Bova tells the irresistible story of man’s first mission to that great unconquered frontier, Mars—a planet pocked by meteors, baked by ultraviolet light, and covered by endless deserts the color of dried blood. Technically plausible and compellingly human, Bova’s story explores the political, scientific, and social repercussions of our greatest quest yet: the search for evidence of life beyond Earth’s boundaries.
Half-Navajo geologist Jamie Waterman has been selected for the ground team of the first manned expedition to our mysterious neighbor planet. Joining an international team of twenty-five astronauts and scientists, he endures the rigors of training, the dangers of traveling an incredible distance in space, the challenges of an alien landscape, and the personal and political conflicts that arise when the team must face the most shocking discovery of all.
Mars is an unforgettable portrait of space, politics, science, and humanity that captures for all time the mystery and wonder of an alien frontier.

Har inte överlevt att åldras, det märks konstant att boken är skriven för ganska länge sedan, mer exakt: 1992.

Historian är väl ok men... har ganska svårt att se dessa personer bli utvalda till den första Mars expedition. Forskarna skulle definitivt ha tränats och förberetts mycket hårdare. Sen allt sex, känns både onödigt och som ett tecken på att författaren inte riktigt vet hur han ska skapa intressanta interaktioner mellan personerna.För mig var historian bäst när den handlade om mars, äventyret, upptäckterna och hindren.
