Overview

Dr. Julie McCray, astrophysicist, isn't looking for second-chance romance. Not even close. She's focused. She needs to save the planet from a dystopian future as Earth temperatures soar. Julie's rover, 40 million miles away, discovers living bacteria hiding under the Martian surface. Scientists examine its DNA profile and agree, with a slight amount of genetic engineering, it can absorb vast quantities of carbon dioxide, exactly what the planet needs to survive. The President orders the government to commandeer Julie's Mars mission and bring the living bacteria to Earth. Julie chafes at the distant and secretive CJ Jackson of the CIA, who aims to protect her adventurous undertaking from enemies who could turn its DNA into a lethal bioweapon. When Julie finds her mission's been sabotaged by a devious NASA insider, she's forced to work with the aloof agent to uncover the mysterious culprit before her launch window closes. If they fail, it'll be years before another rocket can be sent, and by then millions will have perished from the escalating heat. For fans of futuristic sci-fi thrillers, The Rocket Scientist is a fast-paced adventure through a dystopian landscape where love may be the only thing strong enough to save the world.
