About this listen
Half-Navajo geologist Jamie Waterman has been selected for the ground team of the first manned expedition to our mysterious neighbor planet. Joining an international team of astronauts and scientists, he endures the rigors of training, the dangers of traveling an incredible distance in space, the challenges of an alien landscape, and the personal and political conflicts that arise when the team must face the most shocking discovery of all.

Critic reviews
What made the experience of listening to Mars the most enjoyable?
The escapism and realism of the story was totally engaging.What did you like best about this story?
Imagining a real world incredible journey was deeply satisfying.What three words best describe Stefan Rudnicki’s performance?
Deep, rattling, painful.Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
I was saddened by the missed opportunities that this book highlights.Any additional comments?
Stefan's performance was well done but it needed some post production as his voice is so deep and rattling that I found it actually painful to listen to at any volume, maybe bring him up an octave or compress the range a little? Strangely the parts that had been re-recorded were very obvious because they were at a much more compressed and comfortable level.The story shows it's age in a few places with technology in particular which makes it all the more remarkable that it imagines something that is still very much in the future despite being based on technology that existed 20 years ago.
Good story if a bit dated

Any additional comments?
One of the best of Ben Bovas books, Mars is very much a classic of the sci fi genre. Also the narrator is very well suited to the story.Not the Martian
