Low star rating because I couldn't finish the book. Other reviewers recommend giving it a few chapters to get going and then it takes off. I gave it to chapter 12 and could not get interested in any of the character or their conflicts. The main character accepts his supposed death all too casually , accepts the world on the surface of Mars all too causally, accepts the proposed medically enhanced changes to his body and mind all too casually. I lost interest in whatever the "rebellion" was planning. I was so disappointed in the first book that I posted the second book in the series without even cracking the cover.
