Big Red, the debut novel from Irish writer Damien Larkin, coming from Dancing Lemur Press on May 19th. It looks like a near-future story, probably somewhere between mystery/thriller and military SF. On the first page, a soldier is waking up under serious medical treatment and being urgently questioned if anyone else survived. His memory isn't clear, but he was on a tour of duty on Mars and doesn't seem to be there now. This may not be a terribly hard SF novel, since there seem to be "natives" on Mars, but maybe they're originally from somewhere else. In any case, that first-person narrator -- the back cover calls him Darren Loughlin -- will need to figure out what happened on Mars and what he needs to do next.
