Exiles

Who hasn’t dreamed of one day traveling to Mars and being part of the first people to settle on the red planet? Well, what if there were just three of you in a tight space and as you’re about to land, things go terribly wrong?

They’ve gone through rigorous training, and they’ve been carefully hand-selected to work perfectly together. Except they’re all awoken from stasis, and something has gone wrong. They’ve lost communication with the robots down on the planet who have been building their new home for the last six months. After they finally get inside, because the door code was mysteriously changed, they find one of the three robots has gone AWOL, while the other two appear to be developing human characteristics and emotions. There’s also supposedly some sort of alien creature on the outside attacking the habitat.

The late Mason Coile (true name Andrew Pyper) has penned a gripping locked-room mystery that will have readers on the edge of their seats, as they wonder how the new Martian residents are going to deal with their serious robot problem, as well as keep themselves alive.
