Publisher's Synopsis
Few authors have attempted to present a serious philosophical work in the form of a novel. Still fewer would seek to incorporate legitimate scientific concepts into what is primarily a science fiction mystery. Although intended to inspire thought into the nature and purpose of the universe, Face on Mars will have definite appeal to a wide audience of readers. To those who enjoy a good mystery plot, replete with adventure and suspense, it promises to provide an ample serving. Set in the 21st century, the story focuses around man's initial journey to the planet Mars. In an endeavour to resolve a controversy as to whether the 'Face' -- first discovered by a Viking orbiter probe in 1976 -- is an alien artefact or merely a fluke of nature, an excursion is made to this enigmatic structure. What the explorers find upon reaching this peculiar rock formation (about a mile across and some 1500 feet high) is little short of astounding. In fact, it threatens to undermine many of mankind's cherished beliefs!
