When Dee brought Holt home to Davinci colony, there was a new sense of hope for human life on Mars. A new Y had been found - a precious boy - and more than that, there was a whole settlement still surviving at Newton. It felt like they were saved.

But now? There's been no mission organised to go to Newton. Dee is on punishment duties, and Holt and Chayse are kept hidden away with the fragile Futures. Dee is destined to join them in a prison-like life of isolation, unless they can take matters into their own hands.

Dee, Holt and Chayse set out to cross the planet to Newton via a network of subterranean tunnels. Can they reach it without encountering the Others - the sinister biocloud they've been running from? And if they make it, can they convince the Newtonians to work with Davinci - those they've been trained to hate?

A thrilling and imaginative conclusion to the Mars Duology.

Reviews for Mars Underground

PRAISE FOR BOOK 1, MARS AWAKENS 'Blast off to Mars in this thrilling tale of mysterious threats and unlikely friendships!' National Geographic Kids 'Waugh...draws on her scientific knowledge to create this...pacey sci-fi thriller in which gender roles are swapped - in this future, girls are the genetically stronger and must protect boys - which ends on a proper nail-biting cliffhanger.' The Sydney Morning Herald 'Conflict, friendship and the environment come together in an engaging story for middle-grade readers...with more to come.' Geelong Advertiser
