Red State Earth

“Tough-as-nails pioneer families and a great sci-fi war story wrapped up in a huge epic of Mars’s fight for freedom. Loved it.”–Larry Correia, New York Times best-selling author of American Paladin and Monster Hunter International

“Just plain cool.”–Kurt Schlichter, author of People’s Republic

“Corcoran looks at how our current cultural tendencies will diverge given the opportunities and constraints of colonizing a new world. I was caught up in the squabbles of those rugged individualists, and hoping they’d pull together in time.”–Karl K. Gallagher, author of the Torchship Trilogy

“Summoning tactical acumen, bloody-minded heroics, bug-nutty creativity, and sheer audacity, the citizens of the Nine Cities of Mars mount an astonishing resistance that brings the Earth’s two great superpowers to loggerheads and births a new civilization in the bargain.”–J. Daniel Sawyer, best-selling author of When She Was Gone

“Corcoran takes the classic Heinlein juveniles off into the corner where he roughs them up with reality, complexity, and a refreshingly even hand toward the difficulties of balancing governance and freedom.”–J.A. Sutherland, author of the Alexis Carew series

“Engineering and explosions–everything I expect and love in a Corcoran science fiction adventure!”–Daniel Humphreys, author Z-Day series

“What you’d get if you cross-pollinated David Drake and Neal Stephenson, but Corcoran has tapped into a vein entirely his own–part hard science, part political saga, and all high-octane imagination.”–Rob Kroese, author of Mercury Falls

Travis J.I. Corcoran is the author of Red State Mars and its prequel, Red State Earth, for Ark Press.

He is also the author of the hugely popular homesteading manual Escape the City.
