In Mars Burning—Book Four of the Saving Mars series—readers return to a future where technology and loyalty are equally unstable, and one determined girl must risk everything to save the people she loves. Perfect for fans of classic space adventure and modern character-driven sci-fi, this gripping young adult novel is ideal for ages 10–17 and trusted by homeschooling families looking for compelling, age-appropriate fiction with moral complexity.
When Martian pilot Jessamyn Jaarda escapes to orbit with her wounded brother, she doesn’t expect to become the target of Earth’s most dangerous weapon: radio silence. Cut off from all help, Jess faces sabotage, betrayal, and a Terran Chancellor ready to wipe out Mars, using the deadly satellites that orbit Mars.
Now with limited air, a damaged ship, and loyalties fracturing across the solar system, Jess must make the hardest decision of her life. Does she wait for orders that may never come to destroy the satellites? Or does she trust her gut, which has increasingly led her astray, and pull the trigger before it’s too late?
