Recenzii
Ingenious mystery.
Before Mars is incredible. This is one of the best SF series I ever encountered, every book brilliant and ingenious, every one different in tone and feel. I'm envious.
An expertly woven story.
Pivoting on a dark twist, this is a science-fictional spin on the gaslighting theme of novels such as The Girl on the Train.
After months of travel, Anna Kubrin finally arrives at the Mars base for her new job as a geologist and de facto artist in residence - and already she feels she is losing her connection wiht her husband and baby back home on Earth.
In her room on the base, Anna finds a mysterious note, painted in her own hand, warning her not to trust the colony psychiatrist. A note she can't remember painting.
When she finds a footprint in a place that the colony AI cliams has been visited by humans, Anna begins to suspect that she is caught up in an elaborate corporate conspiracy. Or is she losing her grip on reality?
Anna must find the truth, regardless of what horrors she might discover or what might they do to her mind.
Praise for the PLANETFALL series
