In the Shadow of Deimos

Jane Killick
When rival corporations compete to transform Mars into a planet where humans can survive, a terraforming disaster sparks an investigation which reveals a deadly conspiracy.
Luka, a migrant worker, witnesses a wayward asteroid crash into a research centre, killing the lone technician inside. Promoted to take the technician’s place, Luka discovers the man’s secret diaries and becomes drawn into a world of treachery and murder.
Julie, of the United Nations Mars Initiative, unearths evidence proving the asteroid disaster was deliberate sabotage. But, when powerful people work to keep her silent, Julie’s idealised vision of humanity’s future crumbles in the face of bribery and corruption.
Only by working together can Luka and Julie defeat the scourge of corporate greed, even if it means risking their lives to expose the truth.
Based on the best selling game, the first Terraforming Mars novel is a page-turning journey through a fledgling human colony where adventure and intrigue are set against the dangers of life on another planet.
