Review: A Creditable Sequel
Rating: 4 out of 5

Having read and reviewed the prequel to this book, 'Saving Mars', I am simply copying my review from that book.  All the same applies.First of all, it's been many years since I've read any science fiction - probably more than thirty.  The reason I moved on from science fiction was that the genre changed to the point that I no longer identified with the plots or the characters.I downloaded 'Saving Mars' on a lark, and found it to be reminiscent of the 'science fiction' I remember from years ago.  What I mean is that it is a relatively simple plot line with characters who, other than being located on Mars, aren't significantly different from the mainstream of characters in other genres of popular fiction; and the action is more like science fiction than like some wildly fantastic fantasy.I will admit that as a more than 'middle age' male, I hadn't expected to be taken in by the antics of a teenage girl.  But I was wrong.  Not only was I taken in, upon finishing I immediately downloaded the sequel, 'Defying Mars', and now I'm anxiously awaiting the follow up book which I expect will be published this year.
