Science-worshipping fascists seek to take over Mars, and only Morgan Asher stands in the way of their ambition in "The Guns of Mars!"Morgan never wanted to be a colonist, but to fulfill his wife's lifelong dream he consigns himself to that fate. Only, after arriving on the Red Planet, he discovers a sinister plot is afoot. Scientific Fundamentalists (Scifes) have infiltrated all levels of colonial society, and they hold a deadly weapon in their arsenal, one capable of rewriting a person's thoughts and desires. Threatened with obedience or death, Morgan must find a way to expose these enemies of liberty before their conquest is complete, but how can he hope to manage that and keep his mind intact? The Guns of Mars is the 3rd novel in the "Virtual Saga," and it is a departure from the first two volumes. "Virtual Wiles" and "Prisoner of Time" both placed much emphasis on Virtual Reality technology, whereas this novel takes place exclusively in the physical world. It turns out that reality can sometimes be even stranger than fiction. In April of 2009,"The Guns Of Mars" was selected as semi-fnalist in the Amazon Breakthrough Novel Awards contest, making it one of only 7 Science Fiction novels to achieve that high status. During that process, it was given the following review by a writer at Publishers Weekly: Update: February 12, 2010 I am pleased to announce that The Guns of Mars has been accepted for publication by Pill Hill Press of Nebraska. The contract has been signed! I'll keep you informed about the publication progression, and let you know as soon as I have the official release date. The Guns of Mars is coming! |
