Let me start by saying I loved this book. What started out as a weekly serial has now been expanded into an exciting and thought provoking story comprising Book 1 of The Icarus Code.
The story begins with junior reporter for the Atlantic Post, Claire Echols, watching a video taken of the amazing and historic penetration of a buried chamber on Mars with symbols on the inside, as revealed by an inserted camera. Claire is recruited to be one of the team returning to Mars to open it and broadcast its existence to an unsuspecting Earth.
Mars is in the process of being terraformed by KTI- Kolya Terraforming Inc.- a company named after powerful industrialist, Anton Kolya. This assignment takes Claire to Mars via the Moon, and, along the way, several incidents occur to show that there are opposing forces at work here that presumably want to stop the terraforming project at all costs.
The developing story is a heady mixture of potential corporate espionage, political unrest, labor issues, terrorism, and cult groups. Also thrown in is a well-researched background of science- enough to explain, but not enough to be overwhelming.
And who is the mysterious Eberin Das, whose journal we keep seeing little excerpts from?
Finally, we are left with a cliffhanger that could portend calamity for mankind.
I highly recommend The Cold Light of Stars by bestselling author Rysa Walker, and I eagerly await the next book.
