Hathor on Mars

Hathor on Mars is a 69,000-word science fiction novel. The book opens with a crash landing on Mars that kills two of the three astronauts and condemns the third one to certain death once his oxygen supply is gone. The conflict surrounds a pyramid that has been found on Mars and a wealthy businessman who finances the trip. The United States Government, who wanted to keep the information of the pyramid secret, sabotaged the ship. The information that the pyramid holds and the scandal of the ship's demise cause upheaval and eventually a paradigm shift on an already crisis-driven Earth. The novel moves between Earth and Mars, connects to ancient Egypt (Hathor is an Egyptian God), and to another star system that is connected to the pyramids. The characters are tested in extraordinary and desperate circumstances. It incorporates mysticism, political intrigue, social upheaval, and suspense.
