I read Punto di Non Ritorno in Italian quite a while ago and I was completely surprised when Ms Monticelli announced she has translated her Red Desert saga in English... of course I had to read it again in English!Imagine you are a space pioneer living on Mars, with other 4 fellows. You left everything you care on Earth, just to write your name in the history. You thought your journey would have been a dream, however it quickly turned into a nightmare. Two of your fellows died, and you are fed up of your life after 1000 days spent into your space-home. So you decided to tempt fate going out across the Mars’ desert. You’ve got nothing to lose, don’t you think?That pretty much the beginning of a gripping, fast-paced sci-fi thriller set on Mars.Monticelli's writing style is even more enhanced by the English and the characters are superbly pictured, they are pretty real and it's a thing I really like.Highly recommended - do not miss out the second volume!
