Mars is the new frontier for humanity, as we launch an epic saga of inspiring planetary exploration set in the award-winning Terraforming Mars boardgame

Mars, 2316. The recently created Terraforming Committee arbitrates the dramatic development of Mars by powerful rival corporations. When a rogue asteroid crashes into a research center and kills its lone technician, the fragile balance between corporations is shattered. The World Government’s investigation into the accident reveals a multitude of motives, while a corporation insider stumbles on a dark conspiracy. Two Martians with very different agendas must navigate a trail of destruction and treachery to uncover the truth and expose those responsible, before Mars falls to Earth’s corruption. As lines blur between progress and humanity, Mars itself remains the biggest adversary of all.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"A very intense book dealing with both science fiction and Mystery genres. A good introduction to the Terraforming Mars world-setting without bogging down the reader with game lore. A strong narrative with relatable and enjoyable characters. Good mystery to the plot and a well-rounded story that offers closure while leaving enough threads to be picked up should the series continue." -- Inquisitor Jenn

"In the Shadow of Deimos is a fantastic tale for anyone who is looking for a fix of Terraforming Mars without the time to play the game or a good sci-fi story about survival not only of a new and harsh environment but the corruption of those in power." -- What You Tolkien About

"How can a mere earthling say no to an armchair trip to the red planet. Who has that kind of restraint? And why would you want to? It’s a dream destination." -- Bandit on Goodread

"I came away from this book wanting to learn more, to discover more about the kinds of people that would make their homes on Mars, the corporations that would try to alter it and the science they use, and to spend more time on this strangely beautiful world. I can't wait to see what else gets made in this franchise." -- Trans-Scribe

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Author and journalist, Jane Killick, wrote her first “novel” on orange paper at the age of 12. Fortunately for her literary reputation, the resulting manuscript hasn’t survived, but it ignited a passion for telling stories which has never faded.

Her professional writing career began in science fiction magazines, where her articles led to behind the scenes books on TV and film, including Babylon 5 and Red Dwarf. Novels followed, with the Perceivers series about teenagers with mind powers and the Freelancer space adventure trilogy.

While writing her books, Jane continues to work for the BBC reading the news for local radio. She lives in a village in Bedfordshire in England where her quest for the perfect garden remains elusive.

4.0 out of 5 stars A fun easy read, and more fun for fans of the game
Reviewed in the United States on September 11, 2023
I thoroughly enjoyed this murder mystery SF book based on the universe of one of my favorite board games, but sometimes I did find the corporation name-dropping/references a bit distracting from the overall story at times especially when the names came up and they weren't really central to the plot.

But other than that, it was a fun SciFi story, and I do love a solid space exploration and i did quite like it. There's a lot of fun nerdy detail slightly reminiscent of The Martian.

This book is a nice implementation of the lore developed for the Board Game “Terraforming Mars”. If you like terraforming stories with an intriguing plot, this is for you. And If you are into the board game, this will certainly hold some interesting hints. Yet, this is not ground breaking sci-fi. So don’t expect too many original ideas. Nevertheless an entertaining read! I am interested how the next one in this series turns out.
