What to expect

After months of travel, Anna Kubrick finally arrives on Mars for her new job as a geologist and de facto artist-in-residence. She'll be on Mars for over a year. Throwing herself into her work, she tries her best to fit in with the team.

Anna finds a mysterious note written in her own handwriting, she can't remember writing. Her wedding ring has been replaced by a fake. A footprint in a place the colony AI claims has never been visited by humans. Is she caught up in an elaborate corporate conspiracy, or is she actually losing her mind?

Critics Review

Ingenious mystery.
GUARDIAN
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.
ADRIAN TCHAIKOVSKY, author of CHILDREN OF TIME
An expertly woven story.
BOOKLIST
Pivoting on a dark twist, this is a science-fictional spin on the gaslighting theme of novels such as The Girl on the Train.
