En asteroide slår ned i en forskningsstation på Mars’ overflade og slår en tekniker ihjel. Er det en ulykke – eller foregår der noget mere dystert blandt de magtfulde koncerner, der arbejder på at gøre den røde planet beboelig?Terraforming Mars – I skyggen af Deimos er skrevet af den britiske forfatter Jane Killick, der tidligere har arbejdet med bl.a. Babylon 5 og Red Dwarf.Romanen bygger på Terraforming Mars’ realistiske forskning og teknologier og udvider på den måde oplevelsen for spillerne med et ekstra lag historiefortælling. Den forudsætter imidlertid ikke kendskab til spillet og kan fint læses af alle med interesse for rumforskning og klassisk krimi-underholdning.
