Book
Your first Take the new, revamped Space Shuttle to Mars and examine the mysterious face structure. While youre there, look at the pyramid-like objects, also.

You will be informed of your final assignment after arriving at Jupiter.
For eight adventurers from different backgrounds and different professions, it sounded easy. But from the takeoff, it seemed Objects are not stored properly for launch; a new engine they claimed could get them to Mars on less fuel remains untested; and a crew of non-astronauts assembled just for this mission includes an engineer with a serious self-esteem problem, a trigger-happy Marine, and a man who makes a living investigating UFOs.
Astrophysicist Nancy Villareal and her hometown friend, Joe Rommel, confront the mystery of the third assignment. All the answers lie hidden in darkness, but first they must accomplish the first two assignmentsleading them into a dark world of secrets and lies.

This was a fine science fiction story, overall. The plot was intriguing enough to keep me reading, and there were some good descriptions throughout. I wish we had some more explanations about the incidents that happened in the story. I won't spoil it, but I would think what happens would be more shocking to the characters than it appeared to be, not to mention what its discovery meant for mankind.
I found the writing style a little difficult to follow (there was some head-hopping), and it would have benefited from some editing, but otherwise it was good.
