Mars chewed us up. Now it’s trying to spit us out, and there’s nowhere left to go.

Our plan was to return to Earth, destroy the Dunrakee scum who seized our beautiful planet and send the evil aliens packing. It didn’t work, and the reasons why will haunt Ozzy Mack forever.

Now, anxious to end our miserable existence, the Dunrakee have amassed an armada and are racing back to Mars. Only a few, including Ozzy, know about the coming fleet.

Ozzy facing down his own demons while convincing the military brass to evacuate the entire Mars population is hard enough. Doing it while dodging assassination by the corrupt High Judge’s cronies may prove impossible.

And right as death approaches from all sides, a strange new artifact surfaces that may reveal humanity’s purpose in the galaxy—a purpose that could radically change the war.

"A spine-tingling space thriller that combines elements of Indiana Jones and War of the Worlds into a must-read sci-fi adventure."

Warning: This book contains secret ancient Martian information and a lot of kick-butt action. If you're ready, grab a copy today!

Mars Colony Chronicles 5
Mars chewed us up. Now it’s trying to spit us out, and there’s nowhere left to go. 

Our plan was to return to Earth, destroy the Dunrakee scum who seized our beautiful planet and send the evil aliens packing. It didn’t work, and the reasons why will haunt Ozzy Mack forever. 

Now, anxious to end our miserable existence, the Dunrakee have amassed an armada and are racing back to Mars. Only a few, including Ozzy, know about the coming fleet. 

Ozzy facing down his own demons while convincing the military brass to evacuate the entire Mars population is hard enough. Doing it while dodging assassination by the corrupt High Judge’s cronies may prove impossible. 

And right as death approaches from all sides, a strange new artifact surfaces that may reveal humanity’s purpose in the galaxy—a purpose that could radically change the war. 

Total Score: 5/5

Summary:
Ozzy decided that it wasn’t right to kill off all of the Dunrakee after so many of them put their lives on the line to protect and save him. After meeting a young girl about his daughters age he just couldn’t do it. Now the Dunrakee military is determined to kill all humans and take over Mars like they did Earth. It seems that no good deed goes unpunished, but thing might not be a clear as they seem. Ozzy manages to find Lilly, his daughter, but the cost is high. Now there may be hidden groups that could help Humanity if Ozzy can decode the messages left eons ago by the ancient Martians, but will there be enough time.

This book was a wild ride from the very start. Ozzy knows he did the right thing, but the cost in human lives is terrible. It was fascinating how Ozzy’s determination to save his family was at odds with what he knows to be true. His struggle with his decisions makes him more human than the leadership of Mars who will do what they can to maintain their power not caring who lives or dies. The mystery of Ozzy’s blood line and how it could save everyone is yet to be revealed and I for one can’t wait to see what happens next in the next Mars Colony Chronicles book.

Another cliffhanger

I was somewhat disappointed by this book. It definitely is not as compelling as the previous books. Honestly I didn’t really get into the characters. Forgive me but get rid of the kid or make her a minor character. This book seemed a little rushed.
Of course I am looking forward to reading the next book. At least our author makes it for me to guess the resolution. Overall a good story. The series is a fun read.

Ozzy and his Knight friends head back to Mars with a simple plan that ends up as a fast paced crazy story. It was full of action and the wild as Ozzy ends up in a bad situation again and again yet somehow survives against all odds. Some of it made me laugh and some groan. Just a well written story that I read in one siting just to see how it would end. Like it.

Trying to do the right thing has put humanity at risk of being wiped out, in a desperate attempt to save everyone on Mars Ozzie has to persuade the military to help, lots of twists and turns as the story unfolds, a must read, Brandon Ellis at his best .

OMG! It was hard to put this boo down. The continuing adventure of Ozzy, Jozi, Gregas, Quad, the Galactic Knights, humans, Dunrakees, bad politicians, shall I go on. I just loved how everything is so interwoven, yet surprises just kept coming page after page. I hope there is another book coming soon because I want more.

Escape!

Ozzy has to save the Human race from annihilation by the Dunrakee in this exciting fast paced space epic adventure. Indiana Jones and Star Wars only gives a taste of what this series has to offer.

I was reading an Advanced Reader Copy. It was too short and I am waiting for Martian 👽 Kyria and hope it's going to be bigger. What would become of our archeologists?
