This fast-paced thriller is sure to please fans of the Mars Hill series.

Rear Admiral John Wells is back on Mars for the third book in the Mars Hill Classified Series. John, known as “Hawk” to his fellow astronauts, is in the midst of a long-term mission to search for water on Mars. While the team of astronauts scours Mars in search of water, they come across something none of them expected - a secret colony already living on the planet.

Meanwhile, back on earth, John’s family is struggling to survive their captivity. They have clung to the belief that John will find and rescue them and it has kept them going. However, after six years they learn that John is on Mars and is not even aware that they are still alive.

The two stories collide and a much larger plan begins to unfold within the ranks of the followers of The Father Race. Can John make it back home to earth in time or will John Raines’ religion destroy everything the Wells’ hold dear?

This fast-paced thriller is sure to please fans of the Mars Hill series. Boyd’s third adventure is filled with danger and suspense. The characters are strongly written and even readers who have not read the prior books in the series will enjoy The Return.

Boyd tackles tough topics such as cloning, space exploration and colonizing Mars. All of these topics can be found in some form or another in our media today. The Return will give readers a glimpse of what life might be like were any of these things to happen in our lifetime. While it’s scary to even think about, these issues do need be thought through and Boyd brings them to life in a believable way to allow readers to do just that.
