Phobos Rising

The Ephialtes Series #2

by Gavin E. Parker

The peace delivered in the wake of the Ephialtes incident is more fragile than many suppose. The USAN’s rearmament program continues apace, hindered only by the harsh economic realities imposed by the Martian deuterium embargo.

On Mars, Askel and Bobby have to come to terms with an uncertain future while Foveaux and Kostovich brace themselves for the crisis they dread but know is coming.

When a shocking act of violence sends two planets careening towards conflict there is nowhere left to hide. The cold war between Earth and Mars is about to get hot, and there can only be one winner.

I won this book in a goodreads drawing.

The War between Mars and Earth is not going well for either planet, with the deprivations that war always causes. The plot gets a little further, but not a whole lot of action in this one.

Loved it

I had hoped this would be the beginning of a long series, really good story and held me captive for a while

Beautifully done second novel of Mars declaring indepence from Earth. There are fairly long stretches of no action but lots of plotting. The ending will pretty much what you expect once you've gotten there. The book is totally worth the time spent. And this is a long book. Mars en Earth's dominance.
