ESCAPE FROM MARS

“The finest crew. The greatest ship. The most dangerous mission.”

Five astronauts make the first manned trip to Mars in the second decade of the 21st century. They must battle and overcome inferior computer components, corporate greed and indifference, and their own personal problems, as well as the surprises that the Red Planet has in store for them.
