Already, several readers asked about a sequel to The Music of Mars. I will write another, and I’m actively considering events to challenge Frank, Gretchen, and the Earth archaeologists working in the Bvindu city named The Vault of Ages.
A GoodReads reader left this comment in part:
It was very accessible and didn’t have a lot of technical language that went over my head. The characters were likeable, and I really enjoyed the imagination of what it would take to build an entire city on Mars.
An Amazon reader commented in part:
It has everything you look for in sci-fi, adventure, betrayal, aliens, and so much more.
Another Amazon reader left this message in part:
