Mars - Frontier
Sometimes it takes a catastrophe for science to leap forward.
May 20th, 2069, the space vessel Phoenix embarks on its journey to
Mars—humankind’s next frontier. Led by Commander Joy Liore, the seven
international crewmates’ goal is to explore possible colonization on the
Red Planet’s surface. They confirm landing. Then they vanish. Five
days after all contact with Phoenix is lost, Doctor M. Tzuk, an expert
interplanetary psychologist, accepts NASA’s appointment as head of the
investigation force. The investigation will take her from the safety
of the Houston Space Center to the desolate surface of Mars, where she
will discover more about the human spirit than she ever thought
possible. The Red Planet changes people. And as with those who came
before her, Dr. Tzuk must walk the balance between the hopes and dreams
of mankind—and her own. In space there are no tracks to follow.
Success and failure are measured in the very act of landing. Anything
after that, however, is any man’s game.
