The Martian Race by Gregory Benford

Description: As NASA bogs down in politics, tycoon John Axelrod mounts a privately funded expedition to the Red Planet. Axelrod's not high-minded-he expects the televised flight to net him billions. But for astronaut-scientists Julie, Viktor, Marc, and Raoul, the mission's not about money. It's about discovery...and surviving for two years on a frigid, alien world that can kill them in countless ways.

For a time will come when-in order to live-the explorers must embrace everything that makes them human...and everything that will make them Martian.
