Book Two in the Mars Alone TrilogyIt's 2313 and a battle for the future of humankind is brewing. The battleground is spaceLast year Leo Fischer and Skater Monroe were normal kids living normal lives, worrying about school, dealing with family issues, planning their futures...

This year they're hiding out on Mars, hunted by a psychopathic megalomaniac - who happens to be the most powerful individual in the Solar System. He claims the two of them are interplanetary terrorists and is demanding their heads on a plate.

In the thrilling second instalment of the Mars Alone Trilogy, Leo and Skater, together with an artificial intelligence called Taffy whose mind contains the knowledge of an ancient alien civilisation, must face the consequences of fighting an enemy who has been lying to the entire human race and will stop at nothing to protect his secrets.

Industry Reviews

'A compellingly well written and intricately plotted adventure with stunning world-building details'Kate Scott
'An immersive adventure that transports the reader to space - and to new worlds that we can only imagine, but our descendants may well even experience. If you like science fiction with strong characterisation and a political edge, this is for you'Katharine Quarmby
'Consummate storytelling that speeds along as smoothly as an interplanetary spaceship. Andrew Stickland creates a rocket-roaring space adventure with satisfyingly grounded science, full of 300 years-from-now invention, but recognisable as the world - or rather worlds - that Elon Musk envisions. Brilliant!'Iain Hood
