Full disclosure, I received this book from the author in exchange for a fair and honest review.

Seedfall brings us down to Mars and gives us the perspective of those who live on Mars as well as a spacer returning to Mars to convince the ruling elite that there is a big problem and action needs to be taken fast. Characters from the first two stories are joined by those who live and work on the surface and within the settlement proper. The phrase, "Safe at home" has no meaning here. Something has impacted the surface and is causing havoc. Riots have begun in the city and the manufacturing block has gone on lock-down. Bad timing, or are they connected?

Mr Campbell has done a great job of showing us how things can fall apart when just a few constants in our lives are taken out of the equation. He shows us fear and he shows us heroism. And somehow the two are closer together than one might think. I care about these characters and I want to know how it all resolves. With luck, this isn't the end of the Human Race.

If you haven't read books one and two yet, do so. Then come back and read Seedfall. Interesting characters, realistic action and a plot that will keep you hanging on. I highly recommend it.
