by Troy Mitchell Scott

In Troy Mitchell Scott’s first novel, “A Storm on Mars,” Lieutenant Phoenix Murphy, a talented young space pilot/engineer, learns that criminal activities are not limited to planet earth. While attempting to establish a colony on Mars, the construction team was attacked by rogue Martians and Lt. Murphy became a hero when the battle was broadcast worldwide. Now, Lt. Murphy joins a team of astronauts and scientists from throughout the universe to track down and fight the alien criminals. At the same time, the need to establish colonies on other planets has become more urgent as climate change and resulting mega-storms continue to threaten life on earth. As urgent as those tasks are, her personal life tends to cloud her judgement. She worries about her parents’ safety, and wonders if she can convince her fiancé that life on another planet might be, not only desirable, but necessary if they are to have a future. Decisions get complicated, and with potentially frightening and dangerous results. In his second novel, Troy Mitchell Scott weaves an exciting scenario in “Microburst, Sequel to A Storm on Mars.”
