Summary: Oxygen grabs you - Fifth Man enshrouds you!
Comment: The sequel to Oxygen is one of the most gripping, exciting, and best written sequels I've ever read. If you're looking for an excellent read - buy Oxygen and Fifth Man at the same time. You won't want to wait to start the first page of Fifth Man after you finish the last page of Oxygen!

Summary: great Christian science fiction thriller
Comment: The crew has reached its destination Mars after a harrowing near death space trip from earth (see OXYGEN). Now a new survival test begins with the crew trying to live on a planet that makes Antarctica seem like a sauna and no rescue flight possible. Nothing should be able to survive in this frozen inhabitant.
The four member crew struggles with the harshness of life while trying to meet NASA's detailed expectations in which every nanosecond is booked. Meanwhile, deeply religious microbial ecologist Dr. Valkerie Jansen finds proof that life once existed on the angry red planet, but swears she has also seen a "fifth man" sabotaging their mission. No one else has seen this ET so Commander Dr. Bob Kaganovski worries that she is cracking up under the strain. Illness has hit the team too in what seems like a War of the Worlds reversal. Martian madness grips the crew, but is that why Bob cannot stop looking at Valkerie while they wonder if infected, can they go home?
The second book in John B. Olson, and Randall Ingermanson marvelous Martian mission, THE FIFTH MAN, is a great Christian science fiction thriller that enables the audience to feel they are living on the frozen tundra along with the crew. The exhilarating story line hooks the reader on several levels including the obvious survival adventure and whether THE FIFTH MAN exists or is imagined and if the latter who is sabotaging their chances of enduring the severity. Fans will wonder if bacteria could live on this ice cold orb while applauding the two authors for once again proving that science and religion are compatible.

Summary: Keep breathing...I think
Comment: Just as life on Mars is becoming routine, several suspicious incidents create chaos for the four astronauts. For one, Kennedy (who was never quite stable to begin with) appears to have a previously undiagnosed mental problem. Bob is growing rather worried since Valkerie is rethinking his proposal. Lex and Val are searching for microbial life on a barren planet. needless to say, the tension among the group is getting out of hand.
After someone or something attempts to kill the crew, the paranoia from Oxygen returns full force. Suffice it to say that the killer is indeed real.
I enjoyed getting a better look at some of minor characters from Oxygen. Josh, Crystal, Cathe, Nate, and EECOM play key roles in uncovering the killer...or is it one of them?
Anyway, the authors competently explain the science behind much of the Mars mission. I greatly enjoyed this book. It tended toward being an action novel with enough introspection to be real. Definitely recommended.
