Rayna of Mars Michael Howard

This is a story about a group of Mars Colonists from Earth. They set out to prove that colonizing Mars can be done with the help of robots and drones. Their ship was not the first to arrive on Mars. A supply ship landed a few years before them and had plenty of resources to get them started. Their mission was to set up a starter colony so those that came after them would have an easier time colonizing Mars. This is the story of those colonists. Their 2 year mission and the robots that they needed to help them construct the colony. The main robot that was to be their interface with the other drones and rovers was named Rayna. She became so much more with the help of her emotion chip and her ability to learn from the other colonists. Her story is one of survival, life, death, and love. The challenges that the colonists faced along the way were many. They would all come together and soon realize that Rayna was much more than a robot.
