Mars Base One: Abyss of Elysium
After the last blue Martian sunset, for humanity to survive – a lot of people are going to have to die.
Without warning, communications with Earth are suddenly and inexplicably lost. All systematized transmissions have ceased, as though the home planet has disappeared. Without warning or explanation, the colonists are alone in the universe. Survival on Mars is a synthesis of skill, intellect, and courage, as well as the most advanced technology ever developed. But in no one’s blackest nightmare did they ever plan for permanently severing all links with the home planet. The thin barrier between life and death has just been sliced in two – and the relatively small band of people are no longer explorers, but interplanetary castaways, waiting for a rescue that may never come. Now there are too many people and far too little supplies to go around.
Mars Base One – Abyss of Elysium is filled with the full sweep of human emotions from the bittersweet romance between individuals whose days are clearly numbered, to the mystery of losing contact with all they have ever known on Earth, and the fear of a silent and cunning enemy intent on destruction and domination. It is a timeless story of epic adventure and interplanetary intrigue, the race against an emotionless clock, a spectacular, savage wilderness, and the specter of a war of insanity waged to exist just one more day.
Dennis Chamberland’s Mars Base One – Abyss of Elysium is a dramatic, high-tech, nail-biting, audacious adventure in the genre. Chamberland’s style is characterized by a sustained extreme energy, high stakes, maximum passion, and a fusion of the human drama and technology that links the people with an alien planet.

I couldn’t put this book down until I finished it. Entertaining story and I felt like I have a better idea now of what life on Mars will look like. Now I have to go and get his other fiction.
