From the best-selling author of Infernum comes a fast-paced sci-fi mystery set on the dusty red plains of Mars.

Commander Kate Holman is on the verge of her life’s dream as the leader of the first manned mission to Mars. Minutes before setting foot on the red planet, her world comes crashing down when she’s abruptly relieved of command. Replaced by the mission’s security officer, she learns that a secret military objective is the true reason for their journey.

What military purpose could Mars possibly hold? The question takes Kate to the fabled “Face on Mars” and a mysterious discovery unearthed from deep within. Is it an exotic, new element? Evidence of life? An alien artifact—or something else entirely? Scurried away by the security officer, she can only speculate.

An astronaut dies. Systems malfunction. Some claim it’s the result of a rumored Martian “curse” that won’t lift until the unearthed item is returned. Kate seeks a more rational explanation for the problems befalling the mission, but suffers under debilitating headaches and the fear of their possible connection to her past.

When Kate uncovers the nature of the item—a far more human secret than anyone imagined—can she overcome the powerful forces allied against her and make it back to Earth?

Ares is a gripping science fiction thriller packed with sabotage, secrets, and the darker side of human ambition. If you’re looking for hard sci-fi rooted in engineering manuals and orbital mechanics, this probably isn’t your ride. But if you crave tense, character-driven thrillers in space, then buckle in.

Perfect for readers who love:
• Missions gone wrong and trust betrayed
• Conspiracies buried behind official orders
• Space survival under psychological strain
• Strong female leaders facing impossible choices
• Science fiction that reads like a thriller

Read the award-winning Mars thriller that keeps readers up late.

Jayson L. Adams writes sci-fi thrillers that explore what extreme situations reveal about who we really are. His novels combine high-stakes tension with deeper questions about identity, courage, and human nature.
