3 Stars/5
Thanks to T A Uner for giving me this book to review.
In the early 22nd century, Mars has been
terraformed and is inhabited by humans. Liberty Rise is a gifted mutant, who is
a member of the Mars Colonial Police Force, and uses her power to manipulate
time, to help solve crimes. When a murder investigation involves the scientist
Dr Hitzig, it threatens the safety of not just Liberty but all of Mars.
Doctor Mars is an enjoyable sci-fi/paranormal crime novella
which has action and a bit of romance. It is fast paced which makes the book
seem even shorter but it has a unique concept and a good setting.
All of the characters are strong, distinctive and
interesting including the bad guys. Liberty is a very strong female character
who is resilient and intelligent and I look forward to seeing more of her.
The ending had something I did not expect and this novella
is an enjoyable introduction to the series and I look forward to reading the
next book. I would recommend to fans of sci-fi crime short stories.
