A CONSPIRACY WITHOUT BORDERS
Thousands of miles away, Jia’s brother vanishes, leaving behind a cryptic warning – and a secret someone will kill to protect.
NOWHERE TO RUN
As Alyssa and Jia follow two trails towards the same truth, the Argo is already hurtling towards Mars. And with one of the passengers determined to stop it reaching its destination, the journey itself becomes a battle for survival.
Can they stop what’s coming before humanity’s greatest journey becomes its deadliest?
