The Man Who Hated Mars by Randall Garrett ~ Full Audiobook [scifi]

The Man Who Hated Mars by Randall Garrett audiobook. Genre: scifi Ron Clayton has spent fifteen bitter years in exile on Mars - a punishment sold as 'freedom' for criminals Earth no longer wants. Trapped in the thin air, dependent on oxidation pills, and driven half-mad by the planet's relentless cold, Clayton storms into the Terran Rehabilitation Service and begs Lieutenant Phoebe Harris for the one thing he never expected to want: a prison cell back on Earth. She refuses, and Clayton is forced to accept that the system is designed to keep men like him off-world forever. citeturn1view0 When a Space Transport Service ship drops in, opportunity arrives in the form of Herbert 'Parks' Parkinson, a talkative crewman with a nose oxygen rig and a careless streak. One desperate night later, Clayton gambles everything on a stolen uniform, a borrowed identity, and a plan to slip past steel walls, security routines, and suspicious officers. citeturn3view1turn3view2 But survival aboard the ship demands more than hiding his name: Clayton must work, improvise, and keep his fear in check while Mars' harsh rules echo in his muscles and his mind. Tight, tense, and morally thorny, Randall Garrett's classic tale asks what exile does to a man - and whether escape is ever the same as redemption. citeturn0search1 For ad-free listening try our premium subscription Chapters (Approximate) (00:00:00) Chapter 01 (00:36:23) Chapter 02 (01:26:05) Chapter 03 (01:53:09) Chapter 04 (02:04:31) Chapter 05 Learn more about your ad choices.
