Trying to remember book title... dead astronaut on martian landscape was the jacket

[UnatcoAgent]

Any ideas?

Sci fi novel, on the front there was a dead astronaut lying in the sand on some kind of martian landscape, his skull sticking out of the helmet, almost mummified. Can't...remember.... gah!

Can't help with this one, it was a book at my parent's place a long time ago I remembered seeing, but I never read it. I'm hoping to use it for some art direction on a project.

I told the guys setting up the Mars rover not to inflate tires to max sidewall psi! Now look what happened!

great book, i read that in the 8th grade.

another SCI-FI book i wish i could remember is about a girl who is in a house after a nucular war. for some reason her house is not in a radiation zone a safe island if you will. some guy in a radiation suit finds her and the one thing i remember how much of a big deal it was to make sweet tea because she couldn't get anymore.

anybody have any ideas what book i am talking about? its in the same class as Inherit the stars.

Almost strikes on a element of Alas, Babylon, but while there is a little girl in the book, she's a pretty small part.

Sounds like an interesting book.

And can be read for free from here. http://www.webscription.net/p-584-inherit-the-stars.aspx

The whole Giants series is pretty good, and the novels get a bit more sophisticated as you go on past the original three into Entoverse and Mission to Minerva. Hogan is a decent author in general if you're looking for some easily accessible and enjoyable SF, without expecting a whole lot of depth (that you would get from Peter F. Hamilton, for example).
