Ebook: Crimsy: A gripping near-future sci-fi adventure

Lawyers, governments, and trillionaires battle young scientist Jen Zendeck and her research team for ownership and control of the greatest discovery in history: a harmless bacteria from the planet Mars.

A realistic take on science fiction 20 years from now, CRIMSY is perfect for fans of Andy Weir and Michael Crichton.

IF we discover life on the planet Mars, what will it really be like? Orson Welles' marauding giants, declaring war on our world? Or the creature from the 2017 film Life that crushes an astronaut's hand?

Will it drive an exotic space ship, have superhuman powers, or look off-the-charts weird?

None of those things, say real-life scientists.

Martian life will be more like the harmless bacteria nicknamed "Crimsy" that lives in frozen saltwater deep beneath the planet surface. And instead of the alien bringing Earth to the brink, humans do that, fighting in courts and capitals over everything from patent rights to provenance.

Who will get credit for and profit from the greatest discovery in history? It's a battle royale that explodes across Crimsy, with humor, irony, real science, high-stakes action, and plenty of plot twists, including one you may never see coming.
