The Mars Imperative

From the author of the #1 bestselling Military Sci-Fi novel on Amazon (My Other Car is a Spaceship):

Mars is a frontier town, filled with prospectors and mining camps. It’s a place of deadly dust storms and near-vacuum atmosphere. And then there’s the terrorist.

When James McKie leaves for his first job in space, he has no idea what he’s getting himself into. Traveling to Mars is harrowing enough. Surviving once he gets there is another matter entirely. Yet there is a discovery waiting to be made, one that could open Mars to human colonization—if it doesn’t kill everyone first.

The Mars Imperative and The Tesserene Imperative can be read in either order, or individually. They are stand-alone stories, along the lines of McCaffrey's Brainship series or Saberhagen's Berserker series.)
