There aren’t any slow/unnecessary sections in the book so the story remains pacy and well written. I would highly recommend."- J BeeAbout the Mars Frontier seriesThis sci-fi series sets out humanity's early attempts to build a colony on Mars. The science included in my books is (largely) conceivable based on current technology and what is being researched by government organisations such as NASA and ESA as well as private companies such as Blue Origin, SpaceX and Boeing. In other words, what’s technically possible with either current technology or taking experimental research a step or two further. That said, you won’t need to be a rocket scientist to enjoy the story.

Very good, Georgia rocks, though troubling lack of editing
Incursion by Paul Rix.
Loved it, but see below. Great characters, compelling story, realistic political issues. I immediately got the next book in the series.
BUT --- I read the reviews noting editing issues. I've encountered that in numerous books but not to this extent. There are words left out, extra words added, misspellings, awkward sentences. Most requiring me to reread a sentence, sometimes more than once. Once I had to go back several pages to see if I missed where the POV had changed because the author used 'her' instead of 'he'. Doesn't the author have a friend or ARC reader who'll help before publishing it.

Book Review:
“Incursion Book 2 Mars Frontier Series” by Paul Rix
The main character, Georgia Pyke, is the heroine of this novel. She displays resoluteness and courage – indeed, a capable and fearless leader!
Paul Rix needs to hire a proofreader. There are numerous misspellings, missing words, and grammar errors.
I have already begun to read “Relic”, the third of four books in this series. Great reading!

Interesting Concepts
Many of the characters are familiar and behave in cliched ways. Yet, I find the conflicts and actions interesting, and I keep reading, overlooking the flaws. In particular, the numerous typos, grammar mistakes, and omitted words are numerous. A good copy editor pass would make the read so much better.

Currently reading. Am enjoying the series. Unfortunately, book 2 has more typos than book 1 did. I think book 1 had maybe 2, but I have found 3 in book 2 and am only about half way through. I report and correct via Kindle but I don't know if authors ever receive any of that info. Still an entertaining and fun series.

Another fine read
As with the first book in this series, I enjoyed the story and how it’s progressing. There are however many grammatical and spelling errors throughout the book. In some cases incorrect or duplicate words meant o had to re-read some parts a few times to decipher what I’d just read.

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout.
Another easy read from Paul. The story flowed well and the characters are developing nicely. There aren’t any slow/unnecessary sections in the book so the story remains pacy and well written. I would highly recommend.

I want to read faster!
All my second guessing and predictions are wrong. Paul just keeps me bobing when I should be weaving. With other writers, I love figure out what is going to happen before it happens but Paul Rix always seems to have a new twist. Bravo Mr Rix.

Fast moving a great vacation read.
A quick run through for errors would make a big difference. I enjoyed the characters and story line. I’m looking forward to the next book in the series

Very compelling story. Might have given it 5 stars were it not for the many typos and duplicate words (see shared list). A better proofreader would have helped.

No on to book three to see how George and to see how this story ends. I read it every chance I get!

I was getting tired of the constant setbacks, but the character Georgia intrigued me so much that I couldn't put down this book until I finished reading it.

Thrilling sequel!
A really captivating sequel in the events on Mars. Definitely worth buying this book to continue the tale of man's pioneering endeavours on another planet.

Betrayal
The Mars adventure not only must deal with the environment but also betrayal! The Russians and Chinese attempt to take over the mission butt the Americans fight back!

Needs better proofreading.
Good story, but many spelling and grammar
errors.
I wasn't sure if I wanted to continue after the first book, but this one was better.

A good story
The first two books were a great read with the development interesting characters Ann a commentary on mankind and problems familiar to us all.
