The Maurice Series: Maurice and the Doomed Colony of Mars Maurice and the Doomed Colony of Mars continues the adventures of Maurice Haberman, a young boy growing up in a frontier mining colony which began in Maurice on the Moon. In Doomed Colony of Mars, Maurice and his ecologist mother are shanghaied into going to Mars to try and save the Eureka Colony, which is on the verge of ecological collapse. On the way to Mars, Maurice meets Shannon Kappel, the daughter of an Irish flight engineer who has also been recruited in the rescue effort. Sparks fly as the cultured girl from Ireland meets our frontier boy from the Moon! On Mars, Maurice becomes convinced that the problems plaguing the colony are not just accidents; he begins to see spies and saboteurs around every corner. Could someone living in this remote colony hundreds of millions of miles from Earth really be trying to destroy the environment upon which all their lives depend? Mars is a challenging environment for Shannon, who has never been to space before; and for Maurice, who has never spent much time on a planet with real weather. Can they survive Martian storms and dust devils as they explore craters, ancient lake beds, and the fabulous Mariner's Valley on Mars? Maurice continues to look for evidence of sabotage, but there doesn't seem to be any motive for one of the colonists to destroy their own home, and no one is quick to believe a notorious prospector and buggy pirate from the Moon! The tension mounts as Maurice and Shannon continue to explore; Maurice could be right about the saboteur - dead right!

Maurice's parents both work for the Helium-3 mining company that owns most of the colony they live it; they brought Maurice to the Moon to escape the congested, polluted conditions on Earth. Maurice doesn't share his parents' enthusiasm for the Moon; in fact, he hates it and dreams of leaving the Gassendi colony and the Moon forever. Earth seems just out of reach, a colorful world where air is free, water falls from the sky, plants grow wild, and no one has to pay for oxygen or wear a space suit. Maurice will do almost anything to get to Earth, even stealing aboard a space liner!
