Set in 2039, the Mars Diaries feature 14 year-old Tyce Sanders, the only child who's ever been born on Mars. He lives under a dome on the red planet with 200 scientists and tekkies, including his mother, Kristy Sanders, a biologist and a believer. Tyce is confined to a wheelchair, but virtual reality and robotics allow him to experience life beyond his physical boundaries. Kids will love the cool, high-tech gadgets and great plot twists in the exciting series.
When a nuclear reactor threatens to blow, Tyce must reveal his special talents to the world--that he can control a robot through virtual reality. Now he's in danger. The Terrataker rebels had hoped to keep this technology a secret, and Tyce is threatening their plans. As they get desperate, time begins to run out . . . for Tyce, his father, and the others Tyce had hoped to save. Recommended for ages 10 to 14.
