The destiny of the Mars colony and the outcome of the war with the Arethusans are intertwined in Georgia Pyke’s head, and she is yet to realize it.
Three turbulent years since Georgia left Mars behind, assisting the enigmatic Jillnap in the Confederacy’s war against the Arethusans, she is a shell of her past self.
The war effort has taken a terrible toll on her. Prophetic temporal foresight, as Jillnap’s scientists call her ability to see versions of the future, has proved to be a double-edged sword. Although Georgia’s talent has saved millions of lives across the galaxy, she first must first endure death and destruction on a monumental scale. Exhausted and isolated, she is at breaking point.
Despite Jillnaps’s best efforts, it is only a matter of time before the enemy discover who she is and her location in interstellar space. Now they are coming for her. Angry, and confused, Georgia is determined to prevent the Arethusans from capturing her and using her skills to benefit their ambitions of a galactic empire.
A sudden loss confirms her suspicions of a traitor close to her. Whilst the answer to uncovering who it may be lies on the surface of Mars, is it a mistake to draw attention to the solar system once more? Especially when humanity’s attempts to defend itself end in tragedy.

Firstly, Mark and the team return to the Pristine Earth that they discovered at the end of their Trappist-1 adventure, only this time they are fully prepared, with researchers, scientists and a military contingent for emergencies.
They are surprised to find no humans on the planet, the closest relatives being chimpanzees and gorillas. As the exploration continues, an entire group of scientists suddenly vanishes. The alarm is raised and Mark, accompanied by the military sets out to investigate. They, too, unexpectedly vanish without trace. Something or someone is kidnapping the people from Earth. Who, or what, is the enemy? This is the shorter of the two stories and it moves on to a surprising conclusion.
In the main story, Sinister Planet, another team is 500 lightyears from Earth at Kepler 186F, also known as Pangu. Mark’s geology buddy, Roy Williams is leading the expedition. The planet has a massive amount of civilisation infrastructure, but the explorers cannot find any people. Did they die out? Did they leave? The buildings and roads are all deteriorating as if abandoned for decades. When Roy’s team decide to return to orbit, the engines refuse to fire. Some unknown force seems to be stopping their escape.
It becomes even more sinister when they are joined by astronautic engineers who can get the tank engines to fire, but not when attached to the Rimor (shuttle). Strangely, the whole stack can be fired, but not if there are any astronauts on board. How can this be? The force is strangely targeting the humans. There are now seven astronauts on the surface with no way to return to orbit or to home.
The sole remaining crew member of the Orion, Carol Appin, returns to the solar system to bring the news to NASA. Mark’s team are tasked with solving the mystery. If they fail, they’ll be permanently marooned on Pangu.

I love the series and can't wait for book four!
A quick but emotional read - reading about the cruelty to the dog was heartbreaking but this was a lovely tale of the love and healing that animals can bring to our lives.
I would have given five stars but for the missed typos - a few t...
I get the impression that this could be a nice story but I've had to give up after forcing myself to go as far as 15% of the way through. If this novel has ever been near a remotely professional editor then the author was conned.

Another very enjoyable story but with a few niggles, hence the four stars rather than five. Maybe it's because I was tired but the editing issues grated on me more than in the first story and, do people really generally believe that 'ear...
