Summary
Set against the turbulent backdrop of the near future, The Ruins of Mars opens on the discovery of an ancient city buried under the sands of the red planet. Images captured by twin sentient satellites show massive domes, imposing walls, and a grid work of buildings situated directly on the rim of Mars' Grand Canyon, the Valles Marineris.
With the resources of Earth draining away under the weight of human expansion, a plan is hatched to reclaim Mars from the cold grasp of death. A small band of explorers, astronauts, and scientists are sent to the red world in mankind's first interplanetary starship to begin construction on a human colony. Among them is a young archaeologist, named Harrison Raheem Assad, who is tasked with uncovering the secrets of the Martian ruins and their relation to the human race. Aided by the nearly boundless mind of a god-like artificial intelligence; the explorers battle space travel, harsh Martian weather, and the deepening mystery of the forgotten alien civilization.
Begin the epic journey in book one of the Ruins of Mars trilogy.

Great story shame about the Storyteller
Now half way through the second book. The story is great but oh boy the narration is shocking. Give me the script and I will re do it for free. I am sure I can even hear the pages being turned!
The narrator is monotone and it almost sounds like a robot (maybe it's an AI!) and its shocking. Although it does slightly improve with the different voices he does. It makes it hard going to start off with.The story is great and had me hooked from the beginning. I love all the characters and the AI ones add some great light and shade to the overall character development.It is well paced with timely twists and turns. Quite dark in places and I am sure the various themes will flesh out in book 2 and 3.

Pure excitement
This book documents a mission to Mars prompted by the discovery of ruins by two satellites with AIs. It bounces back and forth between the mission team and the past where the Martians strive to develop a culture and raise stones for the gods.
The narration is good. I am told that this is the second recording of the narration.
