A well written thriller set in the near future. Oxygen is a well written, fast-paced novel which grabs you early and never lets go. Highlights of the book include the excellent character development, the religious theme woven nicely but not obnoxiously into the story, and the many technical details of a potential mission to Mars. I write thrillers and mysteries myself, and am always looking at who might have hidden motives. At one point in time or another in OXYGEN, I think I pretty much suspected every character of something. An unreserved five star rating.

One of the greatest WhoDoneIt's I have ever read! The first sentence in the book has the main character fighting for life and it never lets up. As soon as one disaster is ALMOST under control, here comes a worse one! Half way in you will suspect all the main characters of being a saboteur. Further in you will suspect all NASA employees. The ending is a twist you could not possibly see coming. Well written, believable characters you identify with. I stayed up late every night until I finished this book. I kept thinking their situation couldn't possibly get any worse. It got 10 times worse. Again and again and again and ... Just read the book, you'll see what I mean.
Read the appendix, the authors have web sites with more info.

Overview
Valkerie Jansen is tough, beautiful, and has an uncanny knack for survival. But that doesn't explain why NASA picks her to be part of a two man, two woman crew to Mars -- or does it?Bob Kaganovski, the ship's mechanic, is paid to be paranoid -- and he's good at it. After a teeth-rattling launch, Bob realizes that his paranoia hasn't prepared him for this trip. He can deal with a banged-up ship, but how's he going to survive the next five months with HER just a flimsy partition away?
Halfway to the Red Planet, an ...
