Defying Mars

by Cidney Swanson

Overview

To save her world, she must defy it...
Jessamyn has escaped Earth with food for her starving world, but her troubles are just beginning. She must rebuild her life without Pavel, the Terran boy whose kiss haunts her. Her success is further tainted by the loss of her beloved brother. Ethan disabled the deadly lasers orbiting Mars, but this has created a fervor to re-open trade with Earth which Jess knows would be disastrous. Add into the mix a secret which could launch an interplanetary war, and Jess finds herself at the center of an intrigue where, in order to save the world she loves, she must defy it. (364pp.)

Editorial Reviews

It's no secret that I'm a great admirer of Cidney Swanson's world-building ... Defying Mars is a thrilling continuation of the Saving Mars Series. The elaborate world established in the first book is further defined; the characters continue to grow and become more lifelike; and the phenomenal plotting keeps the reader turning the pages. I'm so thankful the third book is already on my e-reader, because I cannot wait to read it.

The sequel is even better than the first! It was so addicting to read! There were a lot of parts where I was holding my breath in anticipation. This book is not for the faint of heart!The romance...was a bit more prevalent in this book than the first. In Saving Mars, the romance had not yet blossomed, which is definitely not a bad thing, but it was nice to read about Pavel and Jessamyn's feelings for each other in here too. I thought it was really sweet, and like that it was kept clean.
