The Mars Endeavour duet consists of Retrograde (2016) and Reentry (2019). The first book takes place entirely on Mars, where a small international crew discovers that Earth has been thrown into chaos and they may be on their own. Reentry continues the story as the colonists decide whether to stay or attempt the journey home.
These books showcase Cawdron’s strengths in realistic space fiction. The Mars setting is grounded in current understanding of the planet, and the human drama comes from the isolation and difficult choices the crew faces.
