New science-fiction novel turns the race to Mars on its head

PIKEVILLE, N.C. - May 14, 2019 - s4story -- Big Red poses some unique questions. What if Terrans secretly settled Mars years ago? What if we could reach the red planet in the blink of an eye? And what if humans weren't the only colonists? Author Damien Larkin blends several surprising components in this science-fiction military-thriller. Readers will relish every surreal development, uncertain if the narrator is reliable or not. At its heart though reside many glimpses into humanity's soul and our current race to reach Mars.

We have always been here...

Traumatized by the effects of Compression travel, soldier Darren Loughlin holds the key to the fate of Earth's Martian colonies. With his Battalion decimated, his fractured memory holds the only clues to the colony-wide communications blackout.

With time running out, Darren pieces together his year-long tour of duty with the Mars Occupation Force. Stationed in the Nazi-founded New Berlin colony, ruled by the brutal MARSCORP, he recounts his part in the vicious, genocidal war against the hostile alien natives and all who question Terran supremacy.
