A great new stand-alone science fiction novel from Carrie Vaughn, author of the Kitty Norville series.

Polly Newton has one single-minded dream, to be a starship pilot and travel the galaxy. Her mother, the Director of the Mars Colony, derails Polly's plans when she sends Polly and her genius twin brother, Charles, to Galileo Academy on Earth.

Strange, unexplained, dangerous coincidences centered on their high-profile classmates begin piling up. There's more going on than would appear, and the stakes are high. Polly is determined to find the truth, no matter the cost.

Reviews for Martians Abroad

A tribute to the power of science fiction, evoking a giddy sense of wonder and adventure about space exploration, technology, and human ingenuity. --NPR Kirkus' List of January's Best Science Fiction and Fantasy io9 January 2017 Must-Read Scifi and Fantasy Books This is a classic...adventurous...with retro SF twists that nod to Heinlein's oeuvre. --Booklist This easygoing adventure has an affable appeal. --Kirkus The whole story is great fun. Your Heinlein itch will be scratched in a 21st-century way --RT Book Reviews This is simultaneously a fun adventure science fiction novel that seems like it would be entirely plausible to give to teens and a fun adventure science fiction novel that I would be entirely comfortable giving to elders who complain that they just can't find things like they used to like. It is both. --Novel Gazing Redux Exciting, entertaining. --The Irresponsible Reader A refreshing mix of teen drama and science. --Elitist Book Reviews Evokes the same wide-eyed enthusiasm and sense of limitless possibilities contained in many Golden Age stories and novels, but with a modern eye toward inclusivity and a realistic vision of future technologie. --Fantasy Literature (4-1/2 out of 5 stars) Exciting, entertaining. --The Irresponsible Reader
