This new Mars adventure is a gripping story of danger and exploration that is as timely as tomorrow's headlines and as scientifically accurate and up to date as anyone can make it (when it happens, the chances are good that this is the way it will happen!) and demonstrates that no matter how far away we travel, we still have to deal with ourselves when we get there. "Mount Olympus" was selected for inclusion in the 2000 edition of The Year's Best Science Fiction anthology, edited by Gardner Dozoisis. The story is a part of Ben Bova's most recent novel, Return to Mars.
