'Brilliantly pacy, imaginative, high-stakes sci-fi adventure set on Mars - a must-read for all YA thriller fans' - Emma Haughton; 'An old-fashioned pulp-sci-fi space opera packed with action, adventure, an android, amorous teens and Artificial Intelligence' - Nina Paley; 'Escape to Midas is a beautifully paced, unputdownable story. More than just an adventure in space, it's a technologically believable picture of the solar system four centuries from now, riddled with personal and political threats which resonate with our present. Stickland's world-building rings true down to every grain of Martian dust, and the story ends on a breathtaking cliffhanger. Reassure me that there will be a third instalment!' - Victoria Whitworth; 'The Mars Alone Trilogy continues at pace. Epic, thrilling, with such glorious world-building and magnetic characters, I couldn't put it down' - Fran Harris; 'Part space-adventure, part coming-of-age story, The Arcadian Incident takes readers into a vividly imagined future 300 years from now. With quicksilver prose and a pacy plot, the story pulls you into the worlds of Leo and Skater and keeps you reading and guessing until the very last page. And if you fall for these characters, like I did, you can rejoice that the next two volumes of The Mars Alone Trilogy are soon to come!' - Melissa Fu; 'A compellingly well written and intricately plotted adventure with stunning world-building details' - Kate Scott; 'Consummate storytelling that speeds along as smoothly as an interplanetary spaceship. Andrew Stickland creates a rocket-roaring space adventure with satisfyingly grounded science, full of 300 years-from-now invention, but recognisable as the world - or rather worlds - that Elon Musk envisions. Brilliant!' - Iain Hood; 'An immersive adventure that transports the reader to space - and to new worlds that we can only imagine, but our descendants may well even experience. If you like science fiction with strong characterisation and a political edge, this is for you' - Katharine Quarmby;
