The Arcadian Incident
£9.99
Andrew Stickland
Book One in the Mars Alone Trilogy
‘A rocket-roaring space adventure with satisfyingly grounded science. Brilliant!’ Iain Hood
It’s 2312 and Leo Fischer is a fifteen-year-old computer whizz on his first ever journey off Earth. He’s heading to the moon colony to help his mother Lillian with her scientific work. But before he can reach her, she is kidnapped.
Determined to find and rescue her, Leo has no choice but to accept the help of his newest friend, Skater Monroe, the daughter of a shuttle pilot and already an experienced space traveller.
Dodging space pirates as well as a ruthless assassin in the pay of the soon-to-be president of Mars, they stumble upon a secret that could lead to all-out war in the solar system.
The first instalment of Andrew Stickland’s Mars Alone Trilogy is a gravity-defying thrill-ride into the human race’s all-too-believable future in space.
‘Brilliantly pacey, imaginative, high-stakes sci-fi adventure set on Mars – a must-read for all YA thriller fans’ Emma Haughton
‘An old-fashioned pulp-sci-fi space opera packed with action, adventure, an android, amorous teens and Artificial Intelligence’ Nina Paley
