Warren Pulley writes SOLEN: The Eden Archive, a hard science fiction saga about humanity's first one-way mission to Mars. In 2054 a structural engineer and a biologist land at Hellas Planitia with SOLEN, a mission AI bound never to lie in its record of events, and find life in a brine pocket 85 cm below the surface. The series follows the colony that grows from that discovery across a hundred years, in four novels and four companion novellas, with two more novellas in production. The story is built on real planetary science, including subsurface brines, Mars-gravity physiology and lava-tube habitats.
