Description
The year is 2038. Earth’s biosphere is on the brink of destruction from the effects of global warming and pollution. The World Energy Council has awarded a lucrative contract to a major US corporation to mine a precious ore discovered by the first manned mission to land on Mars. One kilo of Micromium can power a large city for a year without environmental side effects. Micromium promises to provide clean energy to a thirsty planet far into the future.
When two people die in a mining accident on Mars, the World Energy Council sends Commander Logan Marchant and a crack team of astronaut specialists to investigate.
Confronted with a lack of cooperation from the mining colonists, the investigation is further complicated by Logan’s growing attraction to the team’s beautiful and brainy geologist. While tensions and tempers rise, Logan and the audit team make one shocking discovery after another, until the investigation leads them into mortal danger, and ultimately, to a surprising conclusion.

Advance Praise
“ Micromium may sound like classic sci-fi, but its roots lie just as heavily in a mystery as in its backdrop of Mars. The story is thoroughly engrossing.” - Diane Donovan, Midwest Book Review

The plot for this sci-fi thriller is very innovative, and adds some twists that I haven't seen in similar books that I've read. The author also gives a lot of attention to developing the main characters. Very enjoyable to read overall, although some of the small details were confusing because they conflicted with each other.
Wendy L, Reviewer
Great read! A lot of information is crammed into the first few chapters which made it a little hard to get into but once I did, wow!
A group of scientists is sent to Mars to check up on a mining company that is providing ore desperately needed on Earth. However, things are not what they seem. Not even close! Add in some aliens, some bad guys and you are in for a fun ride!
I recommend this to all sci fi fans especially YA readers.
