World War Mars

By: Rick Partlow

Narrated by: Paul Heitsch

Alien tech discovered. The race to claim it could spark a new kind of War.

When a derelict alien starship appears in the solar system and crash-lands on Mars, it ignites a desperate race to be the first to reach the Red Planet to claim the mysterious technological treasures of the Visitor.

Space Force General Tom Bradstreet, ace Air Force fighter pilot and the only active-duty officer with actual space combat experience, is given control of the Morrigan, the first manned mission to Mars—and the first space warship.

He and his elite team know their mission. In fact, it should be simple. The US is the only nation with a spaceship capable of making it to Mars.Or so they think…

Maverick Russian General Mikhail Antonov has been handed the insane, desperate gamble of building an Orion-style spaceship powered by nuclear warheads. Launching it from the heart of Russia could be the spark that touches off a nuclear war but it’s the only way the Russians and Chinese can hope to reach Mars before the Americans.

The scene is set for a devastating world war, and the first shots may be fired on another world...

Don’t miss the next action-packed, gritty military sci-fi series from Rick Partlow, the bestselling author of the Drop Trooper Series and Taken to the Stars.

This book is a really fun edge-of-your-seat action-packed military Scifi...

Although Military Scifi isn't 🪖 my go to genre, picking this up was a no-brainer as I've read several books by Rick Partlow and enjoyed them all. World War Mars did not disappoint... It was really good and I ended up on the edge-of-my-seat in this action-packed near earth adventure. Where just lifting off good old American soil turned out to be harrowing. As China, India, and even France took umbrage to the US beating them to Mars to study the alien space craft...
Go grab this book because you're gonna need to find out how it all breaks down. Better yet get the audiobook because as I discovered by listening to this book Paul Heitsch is great...

a classical Adventure story

I am an already established fab of Rick Partlow. this story is a great high adventure. highly recommended

The events

The events in the book are pretty interesting.They have the Ukraine war but the sergeant actually mentioned For Benning by name and I find that hilarious because it is no longer Fort Benning. It's now Fort Moore but overall really good book..

Thrilling Non-Stop Action

Super vivid, believable and ridiculously fun! I can’t wait for the sequel! Humanities in for one hell of a fight!

Unbelievable

China and India do several pearl harbor attacks on US. Well we don’t want to upset sales so no problem. Really? Don’t think we would have to worry about an alien ship on Mars since we would be at nuclear war.
