Loved this book! Not what I expected at all. A fun, easy read--very upbeat! Witty dialogue. Can't wait for the sequel!

 great book and well worth the time May 27, 2015

the book is witty and the story moves along at a great pace and I was done before I knew it. The story lines for book 2 are endless with what is left of earth on one side and the mysterious garbled signal (aliens?) on the other. I look forward to book 2. Keep up the great work.

 Brilliant! July 22, 2012

"We were over 166,000,000 kilometers from earth on the night it happened, a long way from home."

Top Gun Fighter pilots Drew and Nick train as astronaughts and, with four others, pilot the Mars One to Mars to terraform the planet. The intention is to stay just long enough to start biodomes, grow vegetation, thaw animal embryo's and begin to change the atmosphere. But as they fly toward Mars they see the tragic sight of Earth being destroyed by nuclear war - turning it into a charcoal wasteland.

Their journey is now a one-way trip and they must console themselves in the fact they are the last humans remaining in the universe. But are they?

The fun really starts when this crew arrives on Mars. The scifi thrills begin and you won't be able to put it down. There is a few surprises for them waiting on Mars.

The conversations in this book are brilliant! There's lots of humour and quick witted sarcasm which just makes the words soar along the page. It's well written and the characters are great. Let's hope G. F. Sheridan gives another rollicking yarn like this soon! Well done.

Mike White "Michael White" reviewed Reach for Mars. 3- Stars

 Beach read June 15, 2014

This is a fairly quick read. There are some loopholes that are never explained. There are also words that are capitalized in the middle of sentences that would not usually done that way. I don't know if this is an editing error or if it was to emphasize the word. There is no description of the two main characters. And a microphone is called a mike, not a mic. Maybe that's how it's done is Australia, I couldn't say. Just nitpicking I suppose.
