'Pure Pulley' STUART TURTON 'Joyful and profound' CATRIONA WARD 'Simply unputdownable'
THOMAS D. LEE 'A work of staggering genius' IMRAN MAHMOOD 'Charming and funny and perfectly
paced' TEMI OH 'A spiritual heir to Terry Pratchett' ROBIN STEVENS 'Book of the year for
me' LAUREN JAMES January Stirling was one of the principal dancers of London's Royal Ballet.
Now he's a climate refugee bound for Tharsis the notorious terraformed colony on Mars. It's a
utopia for the naturalised population. For January as a dangerous Earthstronger whose body is
unadjusted to the weaker Martian gravity it's a life sentence to hard labour and ferocious
discrimination. But he will live. Aubrey Gale energy trillionaire and hereditary senator
is running for election on a hardline platform to protect the native population from dangerous
immigrants. The path to equality is simple requiring all Earthstrongers who choose to come to
Mars to undergo the disabling and sometimes fatal process of surgical naturalisation. Which is
no life at all. When a disastrous media encounter plunges Aubrey and January's lives into
chaos the solution is a five-year made-for-reality-TV marriage that could secure January's
future and ensure Aubrey's political success . . . but it soon becomes clear that thousands of
lives hang in the balance and nothing is as it seems. Timely and utterly unputdownable The
Mars House is an exceptional genre-blending story about privilege strength life and love
across class divisions - perfect for fans of Babel by R.F. Kuang The Ferryman by Justin Cronin
and This Is How You Lose the Time War by Amal El-Mohtar and Max Gladstone.
