Martian Quadrilogy Box Set: A Mars Space Opera Series: Books 1 - 4
Brandon Ellis - 2019
We expected Mars to be an escape, not a trap.
A crimson, blasted, frigid trap. Maybe humans were lucky to leave Earth as cowards...or maybe they should have died trying to save it from the aliens. Because what's now arrived on this red rock may be worse than death. Aliens destroyed humanity and seized Earth. Now they have sent a terrible, unstoppable force to the last human outposts on Mars. The doomsday clock is ticking and only criminal archaeologist Ozzy Mack can decipher the clues buried in the ancient Martian ruins...clues that could radically change the war. Unless it's already too late.
"A spine-tingling space thriller that combines elements of Indiana Jones and War of the Worlds into a must-read sci-fi adventure."
Warning: This book contains secret ancient Martian information and a lot of kick-butt action. If you're ready, grab a copy today!
