This novel is on sale at Amazon, and would make a perfect Christmas gift. The theme is the travel of the first settlers to Mars.

It was first published in French, but is no longer available in that language for the time being, (the first 5,000 copies have already been sold). It is now available only in English, thanks to the benevolent translation of two women, members of Plan International. One is British, and the other is American.
