Martin Humphries – the fabulously wealthy, coldly ruthless owner of the greatest space-based industrial giant – has been checked, but his malice and ambition remain.

And most of all, he wants to capture the love of beautiful Amanda Cunningham, the woman who spurned his money, and take his revenge on Lars Fuchs, the space prospector who both defied Humphries and married Amanda.

I believe that the science fiction author who will have the greatest effect on the world is Ben Bova
A splendid book . . of his many books, Mars must be the most important.
Extraordinary . . . this kind of story is the reason science fiction exists in the first place.
One of sci-fi's great contemporary writers...Ben Bova writes good, authentic science
An epic space novel by an award-winning SF scribe
Return to Mars is an entertaining read, a good example of the bread and butter of the genre
Another attention-grabbing entry in a series that continues to grow in stature ,scope and complexity.Once again,Bova in top form.
Slick pacing,techincally competent.
Bova is a masterful storyteller and the narrative is compelling, almost hypnotic
