Red Hope Bob Reed

Now an Amazon Best Seller

For two million years, Mars has hidden a secret. Two hours ago, the Mars Curiosity rover found it. With less than a year to prepare, four modern-day astronauts are asked to leave their families behind and risk their lives on what will become the most dangerous mission humanity has ever launched. Will the Red Planet give up its real secret before the astronauts run out of time?

A note for listeners: Red Hope is book one of a two-novel series. It has an entertaining ending with a very mild cliffhanger. The second book is being written right now. Red Hope is intended for a general audience - you won't need a calculator or a slide rule to enjoy this adventure novel. The colorful characters in Red Hope are not automatons. They don't base all of their behavior on peer-reviewed and altruistic decision trees that we've come to expect from hero-style sci-fi. Instead the characters in Red Hope make their own decisions for their own reasons. Sometimes wise and sometimes - well, no spoilers. One thing is for sure: Adventure awaits!
