Valkerie Jansen is tough, beautiful, and has an uncanny knack for
survival. But that doesn't explain why NASA picks her to be part of a two man, two woman crew to Mars -- or does it?
Bob Kaganovski, the ship's mechanic, is paid to be paranoid—and
he's good at it. After a teeth-rattling launch, Bob realizes that his
paranoia hasn't prepared him for this trip. He can deal with a
banged-up ship, but how's he going to survive the next five months with HER just a flimsy partition away?
Halfway to the Red Planet, an explosion leaves the crew with only enough oxygen for one. All evidence points to sabotage -- and Valkerie and Bob are the obvious suspects.
Oxygen is a witty, multi-award-winning roller coaster ride, with a plot that moves at the speed of light.
The authors had hoped to work in some cool controversy on science, faith, the meaning of life, the existence of God, and possibly even the Coke versus Pepsi debate, but they were having so much fun writing the story that they forgot to offend anyone.
About the Authors:
John and Randy have been collaborating on one crazy project after another for the past fifteen years.
Not only are they novelists, Ph.D. scientists, and entrepreneurs who've founded four different corporations between them, but rumor has it that they prowl the night wearing steampunk battle gear to rid the streets of vampires, werewolves, and ducks that poop on your front lawn after it rains.
John and Randy deny all such tales as "vicious exaggeration."
