Overview

A ruthless CEO wants Mars. A battle-scarred crew stands in his way. When a merciless corporate titan sabotages humanity's first long-term Mars mission to seize its breakthrough terraforming technology, two commanders must lead their battle-scarred crew through danger, betrayal, and the fight for the future of two worlds. Earth is spiralling into political chaos as Lincoln Ellison, the ruthless CEO of Spaceward Bound, sets his sights on claiming Mars as his personal empire. His plan: cripple the Olympus mission, steal its secrets, and seize control of a technology that could reshape planets... and fortunes. But on the Red Planet, Commanders Troy Bruin and Xanthe Waters have problems of their own. Sabotage undermines their systems. Old rivalries crackle through the team. And every step across the Martian surface exacts a deadly price. As Xanthe struggles with the cost of leadership and Troy races to uncover the truth, the Olympus crew must decide who to trust - before Ellison's ambitions become humanity's downfall. Character-driven, tense, and deeply human, Olympus Dawn is a gripping sci-fi eco-thriller about survival, power, and high-stakes frontier exploration. The stunning conclusion to the Gaia series. Perfect for fans of Andy Weir, Kim Stanley Robinson, and Naomi Alderman.

Reviews

""A brilliant finish to the series. Sci-Fi mostly but with an underlying grasp for humanity and how we might possibly overcome our self-destructive trends. Lots of dilemmas to overcome and with a realistic feel. Well recommended series."" Laurie Robertson, Goodreads ""I read this book in just a few days. It's a fast-moving, engaging story with action that rarely lets up. There are twists and turns to hold the reader's attention, and the real heart of the novel lies in the dynamic between the dozen protagonists as they work together to overcome challenges on Earth, during the journey to Mars, and on the Red Planet itself. In that respect, the book is reminiscent of The Martian, so Andy Weir fans will find plenty to enjoy."" Russell Klyford, Author, Goodreads ""The final chapter in this series and the best yet. The ending is a bit surprising and quite satisfying. She has continued to expand her characters and does not disappoint! The story explores both the good and bad sides of humanity Highly recommended!"" Matthew, Goodreads
