Chronicles the Mars Exploration Rover Mission, the most ambitious attempt to explore the surface of another planet and the first great voyage of exploration of the 21st century.

Squyres, the face and voice of the NASA Mars Exploration Rover Mission and the man who dreamed it up in 1987, takes readers on a triumphant journey of discovery to one of the most fascinating and enigmatic planets in the galaxy. From the mission's conception in 1995 to its successful landing in 2004, it's all here - the thrills, the setbacks and the answers to some of the most probing questions in modern space science. Told in jargon-free language with a lover's enthusiasm, Roving Mars is a real-life thriller and a fascinating read.

Steve Squyres is known in the media as Mr. Mars. Having seen firsthand NASA's previous attempts at missions to Mars, Squyres has the unique ability to put this pivotal mission into historical context.
