Station Alpha 1000 days, 5 persons.
Mysterious discoveries.
Friendship, jealousy, hatred, betrayal.
Death.
Where’s Anna?
What’s hiding in Valles Marineris?
Second book in the science fiction series “Red Desert”.
After 995 days on Mars, the enthusiasm of the Isis crew has turned into frustration and intolerance. Their research hasn't provided the hoped for outcomes, the resources at their disposal are insufficient, and NASA had previously cancelled the launch of a second mission, which would have brought more colonisers and equipment to the planet.
Relationships among the five members of the expedition have become difficult. Station Alpha is home to a complex web of conflicts, secrets, alliances, and rivalries.
Now a new launch window is about to open, but the news from Houston isn't reassuring at all. While the finding of a possible ice sac might give a positive turn to the events, Anna, embittered by the unusual behaviour of Robert and the cold war against Hassan, is considering the opportunity to return to Earth.
When death strikes amongst the five inhabitants of Mars, Anna finds her only possible choice is a solitary escape.
But Mars has got an incredible discovery in store for her, a key to a mystery hidden in the depths of Valles Marineris.
The previous book is “Red Desert - Point of No Return”.
The next book is “Red Desert - Invisible Enemy” (a novel).

Red Desert People of Mars eBook Rita Carla Francesca Monticelli
I thoroughly enjoyed Book 1, and knew I had to continue reading!The beginning surprised me. I expected the action to carry on immediately with Anna's storyline, but it was good to get an answer to an earlier question.
The flashback scenes are not gratuitous. They are an integral part of the storytelling. I love how we get to make assumptions about how things happened, and then the flashbacks either confirm or refute those assumptions.
The error of what really happens when a human body is exposed to low pressure is compounded because it is a central plot point, but I can forgive it, because it is a common error, a common misconception, and the way it is treated in the story is self-consistent.
There is also the small issue of the translation, largely carried out by the Italian author herself, but with the aid of others. The translation is imperfect, granted, but there are not too many instances that really jumped out at me. And I can forgive the translation errors because I know how good the story is.
Some have decried the more emotional aspects of the story as "chick flick", but as a guy, if you can't appreciate fear, paranoia, love, insanity, hate, loss, or grief, then your problem isn't that you are being forced to read a "chick flick". The author is writing about real people, flawed people, people I believe in. The complexity of character is as much of a motivation to read the whole of this series as the layers of story, revealed scene by scene, whether flashback or "present time". Everything is revealed when it is revealed for a reason, and I look forward to discovering more in the next book!

Red Desert People of Mars eBook Rita Carla Francesca Monticelli Reviews
Mars the fourth planet in our solar system and one that holds so much mystery for mankind. It is a planet that many feel is where man should next explore with manned craft. This is what author Rita Carla Francesca Monticelli is doing for her readers through her knowledge of the technical, scientific, and biological. The next book in the Red Desert series, People of Mars, will reintroduce the reader to one Anna Persson.
The first book in the series, Point of No Return, saw Anna apparently running from the Isis module in a rover. She was being called from mission control back on Earth, and her ex was trying to get her to turn back. Hassan had followed her briefly in another rover only turning back when he was at the point of no return. Anna kept going and it became obvious to so many she was probably out to kill herself.
People of Mars does not open with what happens with Anna but takes the reader into the last moments of another woman. Michelle is her name and she is in an airlock. Her hands are bloodied and she begins to have flashes to what had happened to her. She had been slapped over and over again before she must have lost consciousness. The buzzing was bringing her back to reality and helped her realize where she was. The problem she’s in that airlock, and not in a suit. The doors are going to open and all she has tried isn’t stopping them. Will she get out? Yes, there is someone there looking in on her. Is this her help, her salvation, or the one who put her in the airlock sealing her fate
This opening will show the reader that things are not right within the station. There will be tension in not just personal but sexual and professional. Abuse is happening within those walls and it’s not like the inhabitants can just go and take a long walk, or move. They are stuck with each other and there is even a chance a second mission could be terminated. This would cancel the introduction of new staff and a possible way home for Anna. What is one to do with so much perceived mistrust with those she lives with?
Anna does stumble onto a potential break through that could change so much for those within the mission and maybe guarantee the second mission. The discovery is questioned as there is a potential of contamination in the tests, and thus another group of samples must be taken. It is upon this second sortie that Anna discovers something additional, and although unknown, when it becomes clear will lead to that faithful rover trip.
Author Rita Carla Francesca Monticelli continues with great character development with in People of Mars She will take the reader into the past of Anna and other characters. She will show prejudice, hate, fear, longing and so many other raw emotions within the different characters. You add this to the pure mystery of Mars and the book will become hard to put down. As discoveries are being made about the planet there are even more to be made within the pages of the book.
Woman is crazy and paranoid
The Red Desert series is good but it gets bogged down in the last two books. This book should have been edited down to make it more compelling. I like that it jumped around in time but there were no breaks between the different times. It was confusing to be reading and realize that we were in a different scene.
The book is a fun read with interpersonal
Conflict, some technology, and people encountering and managing challenges. The book editors are poor. There are several grammatical flubs including even one gender mistake when discussing a character. There is no indication when the venue and or time changes so one frequently feels adrift for a few sentences. I enjoyed the book but would rate it higher if some attention had been paid to these sort of publishing details.
LOVED IT!
Space adventure that isn't all about death, murder and mayhem.
