About this audiobook
For decades the Space Consortium of America has searched for new ways to harvest resources beyond an increasingly depleted Earth. The ultimate plan is about to be ignited. So is the ultimate threat to humankind . . . DETONATION EVENT Battle-hardened Captain Ry Devans and his crew of the Mars Orbiting Station-1 are part of a bold plan: resurrect the active molten cores of the Red Planet with synchronized thermonuclear explosions, and terraform the hell out of that iron-oxide rock for future generations. It'll change history. So will the strands of carbon-based Martian cells that have hitched a ride on the ship. Dr. Karen Wagner knows the microbes' resistance to virus is incredible. It's the unknowable that's dicey. Her orders: blow them into space. But orders can be undermined. Two vials have been stolen and sent hurtling toward the biosphere. For Devans and Wagner, ferreting out the saboteurs on board is only the beginning. Because there are more of them back on Earth-an army of radical eco-terrorists anxious to create a New World Order with a catastrophic gift from Mars. Now, one-hundred-and-forty-million miles away from home, Devans is feeling expendable, betrayed, a little adrift, and a lot wild-eyed. But space madness could be his salvation-and Earth's. He has a plan. And he'll have to be crazy to make it work.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5I'm waiting for earth to colonize mars. In the meantime, I'll just read various scenarios of this event. I found Detonation Event intriguing and complex. The premise is a bit typical with mars, a rouge virus, bad guys, etc. Despite this, it's an entertaining read for anyone who enjoys mars related fiction. The characters are likeable and engaging. The story unfolds at a good pace. Overall entertaining read. Thanks to NetGalley for an arc in exchange for an honest review.
