1. This is the real thing--science fiction written by a real scientist
who is also a gifted writer, following in the footsteps of Isaac Asimov,
Arthur C. Clarke, Charles Sheffield, and other top-selling
scientist-authors.
2. Like Travis's Warp Speed, this new novel has a rapid-fire story
action and suspense. At the same time, cutting-edge science is deftly
incorporated into the story, in the tradition of Larry Niven, Robert A.
Heinlein, James P. Hogan, and other masters of real science fiction.

It's 24 on Mars: a nonstop futuristic thrill-ride, all in one day,
through the critical events which were the breaking point for the
underclass of Martian citizens and precipitated a revolution to break
the Martian colonists free from the formidable Sol System government.
The formerly red planet--now in danger of again becoming red, blood
red--would never be the same, nor would the human race. It was one day
that changed the course of history for the Solar System, raging from
hand-to-hand combat to piloted armored mecha suits clashing to an
enormous space battle, with dedicated heroes on both sides of the
conflict wondering if they were doing the right thing--and if they would
live to see another day. And wondering, as well, if the spark of this
new war, that would eventually reach across whole star systems, would
bring them peace One Day on Mars.
