Book Blurb

Mars. 2045. 13-year-old Eva is the first Martian.

And world famous on two planets!

Fame, Type 1 diabetes and a sarcastic AI companion haunt her, but when her dad goes missing on the red planet, she must overcome the ‘Ghosts of Mars’ to save him.

The Martian for middle-grade, full of science, friendship and adventure, with elements of The Sword in the Stone.

“A thrilling, edge-of-the-seat ride for all space loving adventurers!” Vashti Hardy, Author of Brightstorm

“I loved this book – not only as a type 1 diabetic – but as a fan of brilliant middle-grade stories. Perfectly paced, hugely imaginative and wildly exciting, I predict readers will adore Eva and this stunning space adventure.” AF Steadman, Author of Skandar and the Unicorn Thief

With a Type 1 Diabetic main character, Ghosts of Mars explores how life beyond Earth, and the fame and scrutiny that come with it, affects the young people involved, who didn’t sign up for life on Mars. Ten percent of author profits go to Diabetes UK.

#GhostsOfMars by Stuart White marks a noteworthy entry into the indie science fiction landscape. The book is set on Mars and will excite any sci-fi fan. It tells a story that’s not just about interstellar travel but about the resilience of the human spirit.

Stuart White shines in creating a believable, intricate Martian setting that serves as more than just a stage for the story. It invites readers to ponder the nuances of starting anew on foreign soil.

The book not only reflects White’s passion for storytelling but also his commitment to fostering a community around literature and supporting emerging writers. It’s a testament to what indie authors can achieve with determination and creativity.
