Reviews for Butterscotch Dawn "If you are looking for a thrilling science fiction story in the not too far off future then read and enjoy this book." "Butterscotch Dawn was a great read. It painted a realistic and exciting view of the challenges that early Mars settlers will face. In the tradition of Red Mars, it made our future on Mars feel 100% real." "There is non-stop action start to finish with excellent attention to details that affords the reader with a real understanding of what exploring mars may be like and what challenges it would present." "As I read this book the imagery jumps at me, and it is like I am in the pmozer with the characters." Any landing within the north polar cap of Mars carried risk, but the pay was soooo good. Nobody else would take the job, no matter what it paid. Only one remotely controlled exploration hopper came back from the cold, crusty region, but the samples it returned were unlike anything seen before. Someone had to go; life had once existed there. Now, with a wounded hopper and the mother of all dust storms circling the planet, death was waiting there, but the Grim Reaper's job was not going to be easy.
