It’s Frank against all odds.

Set in 2048, “No Way” is the second book (after “One Way” in the Frank Kittridge series), and follows directly from the previous story, in which Frank was in a team that was building a base on Mars for a company called XO. Everything is not as it seems though, and Frank has to rely on his strength, resilience and wits to stay alive in a place where one tiny error means death. It doesn’t help that it’s not only the Mars environment that’s out to get him.

“The inside of the hab was pumped up with pressurized Mars air, so that it was somewhere that sparks could be made without risking instant immoliation. People could work in there, with just scuba gear, and use their ungloved hands.”
