I’ve just finished reading ‘A Hand on Mars’ and I absolutely loved it!! I felt that I was actually there alongside the main characters. An exciting adventure from start to finish and wow, what an incredible adventure it was too! One of the very best stories I’ve ever had the pleasure to read. Ever.
A Hand on Mars by Francis Malka is an imaginative, thought-provoking novel with memorable characters, blending emotion, humor, and big ideas into a compelling read. I thoroughly enjoyed it especially the narrative as told by one of the main characters a robot named Glitch.
One you don't want to miss.
Compelling from the very start, with a mystery that isn't solved until the end and is not what one expects. It is a genuine surprise. Also it is unusual, being told from the viewpoint of an intelligent mining robot which has absolute loyalty to its human partner. The story stands out because it highlights human frailty as well as treachery as the people in this expedition struggle to survive the harsh martian environment and the consequences of their unexpected find. The action is compelling, spectacular, and would translate into a great film or TV series. Let's hope this happens and that there is a continuation of this unputdownable story.
A Hand on Mars - Outstanding!
This book grabbed me from the start and never let up. I loved it and highly recommend it. You do not have to be a hard Sci Fi fanatic to enjoy this book.
Not what I expected
A truly stunning read diving deep into the essence of humanity and society in the midst of an amazing work of scifi.
This is going to be an author to watch very closely.
