At the beginning of the story Mia couldn't figure out that she could have saved the trapped people by using the room she was in as an airlock. She could have cleared the crowd out, closed it, lowered the pressure. Then got the others in while using an air tank so she didn't black out. Then closed the door to the side losing air. Repressurised and then got them all out.
2. Gizmo was an extension of the computer of the original colony, established in Gizmo origin. With the exception of a few micro possessors that allowed it to operate independently. it was like a hand for the computer to interact with the real world. I don't understand why everybody in the story thinks otherwise. Nobody ever talks to the computer.
3. The chief is dumber than a rock. Even when faced with the truth he still could not see he was played by the company who manufactured the need for their support in the first place. Sadly, there are people in government real life who are just as dumb.
4. This Mr. Poe was also rather funny as near the end of the story he conveniently forgets that he also told Mia to investigate the death of the officer. At the start, he tells her to do both but near the end it is. All she had to do was bring back the body. lol
5. Also ironic to think that one of the reasons that she took the assignment was to get away from a stressful situation. Wow. lol
6. Shame Mia could not have gone to the mainframe to say goodby.
7. What in the world happened to Nills and Jan
I love your stories; they keep me interested and thinking. Mainly as to what a real colony on Mars could look like.

I’ve only just found you. I’m warning you, I set a high bar ( Heinlein, et al )! I have high hopes! Oddly enough, it was the title SURFACE TENSION that caught my eye - literally. It was the name of a famous short story winner way back - in the SCIENCE FICTION HALL OF FAME book, which I still pick up to read after all these years. Hope I will still be doing that with your books! Thank you!

The evil french villian thing and the choice of monte christo was a weak decision.
Overall the story line is solid. You just used too many derivitive over used character formulas and interactions.
I'm suprised as all the previous iterations of the Colony Mars books had none of this.

I finished Colony 5 a few days ago and got the book blues. You know the feeling where you’re sad that something great is over and now you don’t know what to read Started a few more books but couldn’t get interested enough. So happy I saw that this was posted!

The narrator has a nice voice and for a while it is fine but as the story develops her lack of any character definition makes it hard going and you start to zone out of the story because it's like one character is speaking all the time.

bit of a spoiler perhaps: if you knock down the door to the front of the warehouse and then blow off the back airlock exposing it to the outside, aren't you going to depressurize the entire sector, not just the warehouse

I do like a long story. Although this is more series of stories it's a bit like a long story because of the connection of the storis to one another.
Of course a writer must move on to other things evemtually.

It was kinda weird that neither Jan nor Nils made an appearance even once in the whole book. It feels like the story of Colony Mars has progressed past their storylines.

This series is so great. So immersive. I grew up with John Carter, and having another series on the planet I love with significantly less racism is very nice lol

Not quite scifi.
More shoot-em-up for adolescent boys.
the only thing more boring than reading an action story is listening to somebody else reading one

These books have nothing to do with science, they are just fantasy that ignore science and physical laws of this universe.

Narration bot mimicking a human or a human mimicking a robotic presentation. It gets harder to tell as the years progress.

This series sucks. It's repetitive and unforgivable in its dogmatic boring theme. Female readers complete the filth

Sadly this is not a story but simply a retelling of what is already happening with corporations and the WEF.
