The Proof...Is there life on Mars?
    That’s what Captain John Wells and his NASA colleagues hope to discover in this second installment of the Mars Hill Classified trilogy when they undertake an aggressive mission to the Red Planet. However, from the outset, nothing goes as planned. An uncanny prophecy coupled with an unexpected alien escort ends in a series of catastrophic events that give John plenty to think about as he makes the interminable journey back to Earth.

    The mysteries of Mars, woven into a complex tapestry of international intrigue, will lead him to answers even the most faithful fear. As he starts to put the pieces of the universal puzzle together, the pieces of his life fall irrevocably apart, but, as he must constantly remind himself, God does indeed have a plan for him.

Christy Gold Medal Finalist!

This is what Austin had to say about this unexpected honor:

"This past summer of 2007, I was honored by NavPress and the publishing industry to be judged a finalist for the Catherine Marshall Christian Fiction Award of Excellence...known in publishing circles as "The Christy Gold Medal". A wonderful writer, Beverly Lewis, was the winner with her novel The Brethren, but it was an incredible honor for the second novel I've published to make it all the way to the finals with two other competitors in the sequel novel category.

The Christy Gold Medal is awarded each summer to eight novelists who demonstrate extraordinary excellence in novels released the previous year. Medals are awarded for categories such as sequels (my category), romance, historical novels, and first-time novelists. Thanks to the Christy Award organization and NavPress for this consideration on The Proof. Learn more about the Christy Awards at: http://www.christyawards.com/"

Reviews for The Proof...

  • “The Proof has it all: imagination, action, suspense, techno-thrills, and a profound spiritual mystery. It takes off like a rocket in chapter one and sustains momentum throughout. Austin Boyd is giving us one terrific ride. Well done.” – James Scott Bell, best-selling author of Presumed Guilty

  • “Don’t start reading it if you have something else you should be doing. You can’t put it down! It is nonstop action suspense, but with an eternal significance.” – Sam Whatley, Christian magazine columnist and author of the devotional, Pondering the Journey

  • “The Proof combines the conspiratorial intrigue of The DaVinci Code and the hair-raising suspense of Apollo 13 – all encapsulated in a message of faith, hope, and love.” – John Tanner, Pastor, Cove United Methodist Church
