Description
When Martian pilot Jessamyn Jaarda escapes to orbit with her wounded brother, she doesn't expect to become the target of Earth's most dangerous weapon: radio silence. Cut off from all help, Jess faces sabotage, betrayal, and a Terran Chancellor ready to wipe out Mars, using the deadly satellites that orbit Mars.
Now with limited air, a damaged ship, and loyalties fracturing across the solar system, Jess must make the hardest decision of her life. Does she wait for orders that may never come to destroy the satellites? Or does she trust her gut, which has increasingly led her astray, and pull the trigger before it's too late?

Cidney divides her year between Oregon and Florida along with her family and entirely too much rain. You can visit her at her eponymous website.Cidney is a member of the Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators (SCBWI) and Novelists, Inc. (NINC). Her awards include the 2014 SCBWI Spark Honor for SAVING MARS, for which she was also named to Kirkus Reviews Best of 2012. In 2020, she was the inaugural recipient of the Good Story Grant.
