by Gloria M (San Jose): "Girlfriend on Mars" by Deborah Willis is a great choice for your next beach (or vacation) read. Funny and poignant, it tells the story of a reality competition with the two winners receiving a trip to Mars to jump start a new outpost designed to provide a refuge to preserve our species.
Relevant to the times we live in when climate change is a crisis affecting our future, I can actually envision this as a limited television series. There is action, drama, international locales, love, betrayal, all mixed with humor as a slacker pot growing dude tries to cope with the inescapable fact that his girlfriend is leaving him for Mars.
I am definitely adding Willis to the list of authors I follow.
