Cannonball Express #4
CANNONBALL EXPRESS - Prisoners of Mars: A Sci-Fi Western Adventure
“Wow! It’s BUFFY meets FIREFLY on Mars with trains!”
Barry J. Hutchison, bestselling author of SPACE TEAM
In the chaotic frontier colonies of western Mars, justice can sometimes go awry. So when Jess Flint and the crew of the Cannonball Express hear about a trainload of innocents bound for the darkest of fates, do our heroes step up? Damn right they do!
Unfortunately, so do the blackhats.
Cue a daring jailbreak, a race for freedom along the railroads of Mars, murderous bad guys in steam-copter gunships, and one flat-out crazy plan to get all the prisoners off-planet by sundown.
For Jess and her friends, it’s full-on do-or-die stuff, with danger reaching new heights when the Cannonball Express finally runs out of track... twenty-five kilometers above the Martian surface!
Now the only things that can save Jess and co from certain death are guts, teamwork, and some rusty old cans of expanding foam filler.
Oh, and the galaxy's best dog…

About the author
Kit Kane
4 books10 followersIt's times like these I wish I had a compelling back story. But nope, sorry, I never tried out for the Olympic squad when I was sixteen, or got trapped in a lift with Samuel L. Jackson. Best I can manage is that I have, under another name entirely, spent the last twenty years writing comedy, drama, and animation for UK television, contributing scripts to a whole bunch of different series, including Academy Award-winning productions from Aardman Animation and the BBC.
Otherwise, I'm just your common or garden working writer. Born and raised in beautiful Scotland, I live there still with my fabulous family, the world's best dog (he's called Rory), and an irresistible urge to write rip-roaring, all-fun, action-adventure sci-fi stories. If those are the kind of stories you enjoy, I'd love it if you checked out some of mine.

The Sky is the Limit (or is it?)
Downloaded and read the same day as, like all of the books in the series, I couldn't put it down. The action is non-stop; the characters, friends you wish you had... though I'm not certain I could survive long being around them. I can hardly wait for the next Cannonball run!

Overall it was a really good next installment to the series. The only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 was due to the ending. The ending felt cut short or hurried. With that being said, I’m still looking forward to the next adventure and how what more we learned about the air barons will play into the future of Mars.
