Synopsis

Reviews for Butterscotch Dawn “If you are looking for a thrilling science fiction story in the not too far off future then read and enjoy this book.” “Butterscotch Dawn was a great read. It painted a realistic and exciting view of the challenges that early Mars settlers will face. In the tradition of Red Mars, it made our future on Mars feel 100% real.” “There is non-stop action start to finish with excellent attention to details that affords the reader with a real understanding of what exploring mars may be like and what challenges it would present.” “As I read this book the imagery jumps at me, and it is like I am in the pmozer with the characters.” Any landing within the north polar cap of Mars carried risk, but the pay was soooo good. Nobody else would take the job, no matter what it paid. Only one remotely controlled exploration hopper came back from the cold, crusty region, but the samples it returned were unlike anything seen before. Someone had to go; life had once existed there. Now, with a wounded hopper and the mother of all dust storms circling the planet, death was waiting there, but the Grim Reaper’s job was not going to be easy.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Gerald W. Driggers has BS and MS degrees in Aerospace Engineering from Auburn University. His 45-year career in science and engineering spanned many disciplines and gave him an uncommon depth of understanding in things both theoretical and practical. Military experience varied from launching ballistic payloads and satellites to battlefield Civil Engineering. In civilian life, his endeavors included design studies in space colonization and industrialization, original research to improve pollution control, groundbreaking developments in missile defense technology, and advancements in hardware-in-the-loop testing. In his leisure time, he mastered photography, automotive and outboard engine rebuilding, boat repair and maintenance, seamanship (including offshore), home restoration, and the art of raising two wonderful children. Gerald is truly a man of many trades and a master of several. Through it all, the exploration of the solar system has been his passion since age eight. Pinnacles in his professional life include time spent with Dr. von Braun and his team members, being presented an award by Arthur C. Clarke, conversations with Robert Heinlein, the friendship of Harry Stine, and his close relationship with Gerard and Tasha O’Neill. Gerald now writes about his passion; that is, when wonderful wife Carol or Wilson the Cat do not have chores for him.
