About this ebook

MASSnews caster Ray Barker thinks he has a couple quiet days off to attend his brother’s funeral in northern Michigan, but before the end of the second day he survives a vicious tornado, scores a major news hit for his network, ignites a small town riot, falls in love and uncovers the biggest White House scandal since Watergate. If you think political excess and media manipulation are rampant now, wait a couple decades - it gets worse, and Mars Girl takes you there.
Shifting between Northern Michigan, Mars, the White House and NASA headquarters, Mars Girl is a fast ride into the future where information is everywhere, facts are scarce and no one knows anything.

"Mars Girl is reminiscent of Kurt Vonnegut's early satire ... [It's] a bizarre, satirical romp that offers a glimpse into the media and politics of a future that is probably nearer than most would like to admit."
City Pulse, Lansing, Michigan
