Jamie Waterman has made an important discovery on Mars. A cliff dwelling reveals the fact that an intelligent race lived on the red planet 65 million years ago, only to be driven into extinction by the crash of a giant meteor. But now the exploration of Mars is itself under threat of extinction, as the ultraconservative New Morality movement gains control of the U.S. government and cuts off all funding for the Mars program.

Meanwhile, Carter Carleton, an anthropologist who was driven from his university post by unproven rape charges, has started to dig up the remains of a Martian village. Science and politics clash on two worlds as Jamie desperately tries to save the Mars program and uncover who the vanished Martians were.

Critic reviews

"[A] gripping and convincing conclusion....Bova deftly captures the excitement of scientific discovery and planetary exploration. This compelling story, balancing action and plausible political intrigue, will easily be enjoyed by both fans and newcomers." ( Publishers Weekly)
"Another attention-grabbing entry in a series that continues to grow in stature, scope, and complexity. Once again, Bova in top form." ( Kirkus Reviews)

The performance was weak in my opinion. The performers voice was too deep and a little monotone. when he read the part of the female, it was so forced, it distracted me.

Really enjoyed the excitement of finding the evidence of the Martians. I didn’t find the gratuitous sexual encounters and the physical descriptions of the characters necessary or interesting.

I absolutely loved the first two books in this Mars series. To me, It reads like I’m there with them. I see and hear all they do. There don’t seem to be any cliffhangers, but my attention was riveted to the story. I’m a Faith works with Science person ….. I did feel a bit uncomfortable with the way believers were portrayed. Really seemed like only one person believed both science and faith in this book. The rest seemed quite foolish. Still I say worth reading If you read the whole series

Excellent if you read all 3.
