A new disease is sweeping the Earth, one that attacks the memory center of the brain and mimics the symptoms of dementia. Dr. Gillian Ryan lost her husband to it years ago and now her daughter is afflicted with the condition as well. But Dr. Ryan quickly realizes she's been lied to: the outpost is on Mars and not a space station in orbit of Earth. While Dr. Ryan can be frustrating at times, she still has our sympathies. There's little explanation given to the wondrous tech in this novel, which is fine if you're looking for a thriller.
