About this listen

Book One in the Denver Moon Series

Earth is dying. Luna is uninhabitable. Mars is our last chance.

Once considered humanity's future home, Mars hasn't worked out like anybody hoped. Plagued by crime and a terraforming project that's centuries from completion, Mars is a red hell.

Denver Moon, P.I., works the dark underbelly of Mars City. While investigating a series of violent crimes linked to red fever - a Martian disorder that turns its victims into bloodthirsty killers - Denver discovers a cryptic message left by Tatsuo Moon, Mars City co-founder and Denver's grandfather. The same grandfather who died two decades ago.

Twenty-year-old revelations force Denver on a quest for truth, but Tatsuo's former friend, Cole Hennessy, leader of the Church of Mars, has other plans and will stop at nothing to keep Denver from disclosing Tatsuo's secrets to the world.

Hell-bent on reclaiming her grandfather's legacy, Denver - along with her AI implant, Smith, companion android, Nigel, and shuttle pilot, Navya - set out on a quest to find the answers they hope will shed light on the church's true agenda, the origin of red fever, and the mysteries surrounding Tatsuo's tragic death.

On Mars, a vicious plague, the Red Fever, which turns the victim into an psychopathic killer, had just taken eleven of the original settlers in the previous two days and investigator Denver Moon was just in time to find the two people she loved almost as parents had also succumbed, one murdered by the other, now mad, woman. And at that moment she received a message - from the grandfather she believed dead for twenty years. A message asking for her help.

This is an intriguing, drag the reader in from the very first moment, engrossing story of conspiracy and the unexpected. Set on Mars, still as yet unterraformed, the population struggling to build their future in the face of a near dead earth, Denver's grandfather had been one of the original settlers and her surrogate father after her parents died when she was only one. Twenty years ago, he too was declared dead although his body wasn't found. Smith, her A.I., was the one to deliver the message. Her subsequent reaction from the basis of this unusual novella. The characters are colourful, the action exciting and keeps the reader guessing. Narration is split between Amanda Day, who performs the first person delivery of Denver's story with panache, well modulated and paced with just the right amount of emotional input, and Nicholas Cain expertly reading the parts of male protagonists and a few other non Denver inserts. Together their teamwork provides a very enjoyable, easy listen and satisfying delivery of the book.

My thanks to the rights holder of Denver Moon, first in the new Minds of Mars series, who, at my request freely gifted me with a complimentary copy. Definitely recommended to anyone who enjoys Science Fiction thrillers. I will be looking out for book two with enthusiasm.

"Mars is in great danger. You must find me."

Its a short story of 4 1/2 hrs listening time BUT the narration was excellent and it was hard to stop listening to, so I didn't, I listened till the end and want more.

Looking forward to the next book.
