Setting: Mars, in the future
First line/s: "I'm alone, even if the people who've lived with me through the most important moments of my life are all around me: them, the Genesis pioneers - the space heroes - the condemned of Mars."
My comments: Wow, what a trip. Ups and downs and all sorts of craziness, bt I couldn't wait to get back to the story every time I had to leave it. The first volume was the best, the most fun, but the intricacy of this last volume, number three, was also really interesting. Victor Dixen has quite an imagination. I don't think it would hurt to look into some of his other writing, if I can find any. The series was written in French and I'm so tickled that it was translated into English, even though it was difficult to get hold of copies and hasn't been published in Kindle or audio as far as I can tell.
Goodreads synopsis: The third book in a heartstopping, high-octane new space series.
The Genesis Programme reality TV show has brought twelve young astronauts to Mars, to face unprecedented hostility. An even greater danger is now threatening Earth, but the viewers are too glued to their screens and the rescue mission to see what is really happening.
Leonor is ready to risk everything to bring out the truth and warn the world. She can never admit defeat - but can she fight her last fight alone?
