Red Betrayal

When the crew of the Rome 2 spacecraft arrives on Mars, they expect to revive a silent base. Instead, they find it ravaged, its crew gone, systems looted, and a chilling silence hanging over the red planet. As strange signs emerge and alien footprints are discovered, Commander Eliza Morris and her team realize the truth: Earth knew. A government cover-up, a suppressed warning, and a relentless alien presence all converge as the crew fights to survive long enough to warn the incoming colonist ship, Artemis. But the aliens aren’t just attackers, they’re watching, learning, waiting. And Mars is no longer humanity’s frontier, it’s the trap.
