Books with author Jack McDonald Burnett

From the author of Girl on the Moon and the upcoming sequel, Girl on Mars, comes this standalone novel about humankind's next great adventure. Billionaire Frank Ebersole believes Pauper, Earth's smaller moon, is the source of magic—the power magickers draw from to perform their supernatural feats. He wants to find the magic "generator" there and exploit it, making him the most powerful man on Earth. To do it he'll put together an expedition to the tiny moon, with a crew chosen from the general population: an administrative assistant with a big heart, a plucky magicker with her own agenda, a quiet teenage girl, and Frank's own "body man." Together they’ll have to survive demanding, accelerated training. Their voyage will be fraught with danger and heartbreaking loss. Some of them may not make it home. Will they learn Pauper’s secret? And will it save them, or kill them?

Conn Garrow, the Girl on the Moon, returns in a new adventure with more advanced tech, more dangerous aliens, and higher stakes than she's ever faced. An adventure with narrow escapes, impossible rescues, harrowing spacewalks and splashdowns, multimillion dollar deals, marooned astronauts, and even some fistfighting. Girl on Mars is the sequel to Girl on the Moon (ASIN: B0198Q3NG4), which Amazon reviewers called "a realistic, intelligent barn-burner" and a "thoroughly enjoyable, imaginative, wild-ride of a story." Humankind's first interstellar journey--a jaunt to the home system of the Aphelials, a race that threatens humanity's very existence--doesn't go exactly as planned for Conn and her friend and fellow traveler Yongpo. But the astronauts do manage to gather intelligence that will make history and change the world. It will also set Conn on a path that will lead her to the fourth planet from our Sun. Mars could be the key to the survival of the Earth, and it's up to Conn to learn the red planet's secrets before the Aphelials arrive in force. She'll have to survive the months-long trip and a dangerous landing, be strong, keep her wits, have no fear, and make the right friends. And she'll have to hope it's all enough to turn back an overwhelmingly powerful and ruthless enemy bent on the annihilation of our entire species.More praise for Girl on the Moon from Amazon reviewers:If you’re a fan of “The Martian,” “Saturn Run,” and “Seveneves,” you’re going to love “Girl on the Moon.”...Fast paced, intense, and I never quite knew what to expect next....Could not put it down, as it took me back to reading Heinlein’s juveniles from the 1950s....This is a great story that just continues getting better and better. It doesn’t let up....Reminded me of Arthur C. Clarke. I have not enjoyed a piece of Science Fiction this much in years.Search ASIN: B0198Q3NG4 to find Girl on the Moon.
