Sci-fi meets survival meets… panic attacks? Michael is determined to overcome his suit (as in spacesuit) anxiety and pass the suit exam so he will be allowed out on the surface of Mars. Later that night, he and his friend Lilith decide to sneak outside on the very night the solar flares cause problems on the planet. Will they be able to get back home before their air filters are depleted? Will Michael overcome his anxiety? A page-turner you won’t be able to put down!
