Blue Sunrise (Book one of the Blue Sun series) is hard science fiction at its best; a richly woven tale of a man struggling with his personal demons, an expedition to Mars caught in the cross-hairs of interstellar conflict and an alien race pushing the limits of its genetically mandated paranoia to destroy all other intelligent life. Blue Sunrise is a provocative exploration of well-developed characters in a tightly plotted novel actively pulling the reader through every twist and turn.
