The only thing better than being the first people to step onto a planet is getting to do it in order to answer a question that no one has figured out so far.
I was mesmerized by the descriptions of what it would be like to walk around on Mars. Everything about this planet was described in such vivid detail that I felt like I was there myself. It was especially interesting to see what Ms. Pestel imagined the weather was like. This is something I’ve wondered about myself, so it was fun to compare my mental images of a typical Martian forecast with what the author thought about them.
There were some pacing issues. The beginning was quite slow while the ending moved by rapidly. I would have been happy with either writing style, but combining them into the same tale didn’t work well for me. It was odd to go from a quiet, contemplative beginning to later scenes where many things were happening simultaneously and I had to leap from one revelation to the next without having much time to think about them.
The camaraderie among the four crew members made me smile. I enjoyed watching them prepare for their big mission. John, Doug, Kathleen, and Mikhail were an effective team, and it showed in how naturally they treated each other. From their arguments to their running jokes, they genuinely felt like a group of astronauts who had already spent a great deal of time training and traveling together.
The Mons Connection should be read by anyone who has ever wished they could explore the red planet.
