Human Trials Steve Holgate

In the year 2040, the governments of Earth make a decision that will change the course of human history forever: they send a team to Mars for extensive exploration.

The Mars Explorers, however, are meant to serve as little more than a distraction as the industry moguls behind the world governments? work to find a solution for the food shortages and economic struggles that plague the planet. Their real solution is much darker?an engineered disease with a limited number of antidotes available. In other words: population reduction.

What does the future hold for these intrepid pioneers as the situation on Earth decays? Do they ever get back to Earth or is Mars now their home? And how will the destiny of the human race be changed by the discovery made on Mars?

Taking us through hundreds of years of destruction and discovery, Human Trials follows humanity?s struggle to survive overpopulation and its profound power for self-harm. For true science fiction lovers, Steve Holgate has gone back to the basics of the genre to answer the most fundamental of questions: What will become of the human race?
