Mother of Mars — D.M. Pruden

All life in the solar system is about to be wiped out... Mel thinks it might be her fault... Dr. Melanie Destin thought she'd started a new life on Mars.

On the run, with a price on her head and the authorities in close pursuit, Mel must evade capture long enough to accomplish the one task that can save her life; destroy the source of the deadly Ares nano-virus... Little does she realize the pathogen is not what it seems, and her meddling could make her responsible for the destruction of all life in the solar system.
