About this listen

A tech geek's life turns upside down when his teenage son secretly enters him in the world's first civilian Mars lottery—and he actually wins. Now Carl Smith, a single dad who can barely handle zero-gravity simulations, must transform from an ordinary programmer into humanity's next great explorer.

But space has other plans. As the Hope spaceship races toward the red planet, mysterious accidents begin plaguing the ship. Carl finds himself caught in a web of secrets, sabotage, and impossible choices. With a determined crew by his side, including a brilliant Asian female scientist who captures more than just data and an East European engineer whose jokes are as big as his heart, Carl must overcome not just the void of space, but his own doubts.

From pulse-pounding action to tender moments of human connection, "Mars' Lottery" is a thrilling journey of transformation, courage, and discovery. Following in the footsteps of The Martian and Project Hail Mary, this novel asks: what happens when an ordinary person is thrust into extraordinary circumstances? And what secrets await humanity on the red planet?

Join Carl and his crew as they embark on a mission that will either make history—or end it. Because on Mars, the real challenge isn't just survival; it's learning who you truly are when everything familiar is left behind.

Perfect for fans of Andy Weir and sci-fi that puts human heart and scientific accuracy on equal footing. "Mars' Lottery" reminds us that sometimes the greatest journeys aren't just about reaching new worlds, but about discovering ourselves along the way.
