Return - by O McCarthy (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

Mars has run out of time.

After a year of living like royalty on the Martian space colony of Souterrain, Reach and his space mission partner can't stay any longer. Remaining on Mars means death, and returning to Earth is the only chance at life for not just Reach, but all the Martian colonists - if the journey from Mars to Earth doesn't kill them first.

Reach, his mission partner, and a crew of colonists prepare to face monsters- both past and present- as Nation reveals even more nefarious secrets and twisted mind games. Armed with game theory and the best intel the Resistance can offer, Reach must determine what he's willing to sacrifice and what he's willing to gain in the match of freedom versus tyranny. In the eyes of Nation, Reach may be a pawn, but...

In chess, even a pawn can checkmate.
