Looking for something a little different to read, I picked this sci-fi book about a family that travels to Mars and one of the early settler groups going there to help establish the base. The girl at 19 is going through things, the 5 year commitment to be at Mars, growing up, sex, school, the whole authority things and so on. At one point after being punished she leaves the base & goes outside on Mars alone. She falls through the surface and is rescued by a Martian. Eventually the Martian's come out from below and the world sort of changes. It changes again later when a further out being/beings signal Earth and send a coded message to Red--the sort of head Martian. The messages are sort of vague but still ominous. Leads to much ado and sort of sets up for the next couple books in series. A good read interesting take on the whole exploring Mars and space travel. I don't think I will track down this series, first book was good enough.
There are no copies in system but this copy has some issues so will probably set aside to my donate away pile of books.
