In this hard science-fiction novel, a crew travels millions of kilometers to explore a dead world. Instead, they discover the darkest corners of themselves.
The Ares expedition was built on absolute scientific precision-sixteen humans and sixteen advanced machines working in perfect harmony. But when an impossible artifact is unearthed in the pristine Martian sand, the mission spirals into chaos. Away from Earth and stripped of the truth, the Ares becomes a sealed pressure cooker of suspicion, mutiny, and fear.
As exiled Captain Sunny fights her way back to the ship, the crew must confront a terrifying situation and attempt to explain the unexplainable.
Narrated by Glitch, a highly advanced mining robot forced to navigate the chaotic landscape of human emotion, A Hand on Mars is a brilliant, pulse-pounding exploration of human frailty.
