This debut science-fiction romp with heart follows the tradition of Ray Bradbury's Martian Chronicles with a dash of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. For the six lucky scientists selected by the Destination Mars! corporation, a one-way ticket to Mars--in exchange for a lifetime of research--was an absolute no-brainer. The incredible opportunity was clearly worth even the most absurdly tedious screening process. Perhaps worth following the strange protocols in a nonsensical handbook written by an eccentric billionaire. Possibly even worth their constant surveillance, the video of which is carefully edited into a ratings-bonanza back on Earth. But it turns out that after a while even scientists can get bored of science. Tempers begin to fray; unsanctioned affairs blossom. When perfectly good equipment begins to fail, the Marsonauts are faced with a possibility that their training just cannot explain.Irreverent, poignant, romantic, and perfectly weird, David Ebenbach's debut science-fiction outing, like a mission to Mars, is an incredible trip you will never forget. 651 0 $a Mars (Planet) $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Interplanetary voyages $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Life on other planets $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Interpersonal relations $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Science fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Humorous fiction. $2 lcgft 941 $a 9 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20231010022422.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20210807010155.0 952 $l GEPG771 $d 20210722064453.0 952 $l LAPH975 $d 20210713014325.0 952 $l TDPH826 $d 20210702012406.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20210702010630.0 952 $l TFPI826 $d 20210602011933.0 952 $l KSPG296 $d 20210528010125.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20210514010024.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=A4348EA0B47911EB9D5870B534ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
