Three people, Officer Gold, Captain Blake and Officer Kang, are on a one-way mission to Mars, aboard the ship Valiant. There are three robots that are on Mars building the Citadel, where the three will live out their lives. When they get there, they find the lab destroyed and the code they have to get in is not working. Luckily, one of the robots hears them and lets them in. They find things are not what they should be. There’s only one robot active at the moment until they bring another robot online. The third one has vanished on the planet somewhere. When questioned, one of the robots says there is an alien that has destroyed the lab and has tried to get in the building. It leads to shocking events (no spoilers), and everyone’s lives are in danger. This is a psychological space thriller that keeps you reading along. The book is short at only 224 pages, but it packs a lot of punch.
