The Red Planet President: A Novella
By William Graham
In this continuation of the story line of "The Red Planet Trilogy" (5-star reviewed), author William Graham weaves a compelling tale of political intrigue as Dr. Jane Starling, the first president of the newly formed Martian Republic, takes office. Her political foes at the corporations that had founded the colonies on Mars are aligned against her and devise ways to sabotage per political agenda. Against this highly charged political drama, the common citizens on Mars must make decisions about their own lives. This fast-faced drama not only takes us into the future but casts a bright light on many contemporary events. It's a story with universal appeal and meaning.

***MY HONEST REVIEW OF The Red Planet President***
Mars has two
opposing colonies. The first, the Conservative Party, was established and run
by the rich and powerful, causing a portion to break off and start The Red
Party, a colony established for the good of all. After many years of strife
between the two, an election is held to elect the first members of the Assembly
of the Martian Republic. When The Red Party wins majority vote along with the
presidential leadership, the opposing party is not happy, and creates the
Invisible Hand Committee, who will stop at nothing to regain their never-ending
control.
This is a
continuing plot of the Red Planet series, although it can be read alone. Even
though this occurs on Mars, the political aspects could easily be anywhere on
Earth. This just confirms my suspicions that humans will never change, no
matter where they end up. I like that the story was short and fast paced. I’m
glad that my two favorite characters, Vincent and Ace, were included. I would
like to see them have more roles in the future.
