Martian Jones

By Dan Boulet

"But it's not nowhere""it's our Mars." Adam Jones hits the ground with a jarring thud. He springs to his feet and peers back along the country road down which he has sped. The black van with the dark windows is still coming on. Adam scoops up his bike and flees for the safety of his house. What a crazy last day of school: first that rumor about NASA discovering a strange structure on Mars and now this van! But these events are merely the thinning of a mist that has confused Adam's understanding of his family. A wind is coming that will sweep away his petty dissatisfactions and launch him on a life-changing journey. Later that evening, Adam is stunned to learn his family is hiding a great secret. Adam's father and mother invite him to travel to the Red Planet to help them hide an extraordinary family treasure and the story it would tell. To accomplish their mission, the Joneses must brave the unforgiving laws of nature and escape the clever plans of a ruthless organization bent on terminating their undertaking by any means possible. During this science adventure, Adam experiences God's mercy as personal humiliation and close encounters with death transform him from bystander to valued rocket-ship crew member. He also discovers that he is a special object of his family's care and the very symbol of what they have achieved.
