What the Critics Say
Kirkus Reviews
New York, NY A passionate call to arms to halt the destruction of the world’s forests and end the release of carbon dioxide from fossil fuels, from a plasma physicist-Mars researcher. More interesting than the alarmist data are the autobiographical glimpses from Brandenburg’s career as a member of a Reagan-era “Star Wars” defense development team and his subsequent work on unmanned NASA space probes. …He insists that some kind of life once thrived on the red planet, and that Earth might come to resemble Mars if his warnings aren’t heeded.
Publishing News - UK
The difficult task of making real science writing read with the compulsiveness of fiction is cannily achieved by Brandenburg and Paxson. Their straightforwardly compelling narrative manages to freight in a serious message about the destruction of the environment…This one is likely to join the ranks of major-selling scientific titles that cross over into popular appeal, and certainly carries a very salutary sting in the tail.
