Colorado author & Bubonicon friend Carrie Vaughn will be in Santa Fe on January 29 to talk about and sign copies of Martians Abroad, a science fiction mystery novel.

About the Book:  Polly Newton has one single-minded dream, to be a starship pilot and travel the galaxy. Her mother, the Director of the Mars Colony, derails Polly’s plans when she sends Polly and her genius twin brother, Charles, to Galileo Academy on Earth. Homesick and cut off from her plans for her future, Polly cannot seem to fit into life on Earth. Strange, unexplained, dangerous coincidences centered on their high-profile classmates begin piling up. Charles may be right―there’s more going on than would appear, and the stakes are high. With the help of Charles, Polly is determined to find the truth, no matter the cost.

“This is a classic…adventurous…with retro SF twists that nod to Heinlein’s oeuvre.” ―Booklist
