Series: Mars Duology

Raised in rival colonies on Mars, each long ago abandoned by Earth, Dee and Holt have been brought up to hate even the idea of each other. But when a mysterious object crash-lands on a far-flung plain, they are both sent to investigate and their fates intertwine. Together they must battle epic storms and deadly bioclouds while unpicking the web of lies they have been told about their planet. Will their bond be strong enough to withstand the arrival of a mysterious invader that threatens to end life on Mars forever?

Timely and compelling, Mars Awakens is the unputdownable first book in a duology offering a window into our future.

HM Waugh is an environmental scientist, writer and educator with a long-term love of wild places and high mountains. This has led to icy feet and sunburnt cheeks in magical countries like New Zealand, Nepal, Bolivia and Switzerland.

When she's not writing, she's teaching school and community groups about science and the environment.

Reviews for Mars Awakens

'Waugh, an environmental scientist and a STEM teacher, draws on her scientific knowledge to create this future world and a pacey sci-fi thriller in which gender roles are swapped - in this future, girls are the genetically stronger and must protect boys - which ends on a proper nail-biting cliffhanger.' Kylie Northover, Spectrum, The Sydney Morning Herald
