By the year 2060, mankind is on the verge of bringing Terra to her knees. The population has exploded, and land for cattle and crops has been sacrificed for housing and employment for the more than fifteen billion souls now living on the planet. Synthetic food is created in plants, and the remaining animals are kept in zoos and game preserves of the wealthy. In an effort to insure the survival of mankind, spaceships are sent to explore Terra’s nearest neighbors, Mars and Venus, but will it be too little too late?<br><br>The four men who took the MRM to Mars have high hopes, until on their return home they travel through a magnetic field that crashes them… somewhere. As they explore the unknown world with its dangers, Doc, Nick, Hank, and Ed will struggle to come to terms with their new reality and find their own paths to happiness.

To Love Through Space and Time

“I think so, Ed. She’s inviting us to join her people, me because I can communicate, more or less,” I muttered under my breath. The roots of our language were still there, but it would take some time getting used to the way they spoke it. “She wants Nick because he killed the lion and Hank because the kids seem to like him.”


“I think it’s safe to say you’re invited as well.” I turned back to the elder. “Thank you for your kind invitation, but we must find a way to return to our own world.”


“Understand. All…questing…go. Rest…first. Honor…you…stay…” She pointed toward the sun, closed her fist, and then opened it four times.


“Thank you,” I repeated. “That’s very kind of you. Gentlemen?”


“Fine by me, Doc.” Nick was watching one of the women. She had long blonde hair and big blue eyes, and I sighed. Of course he would want someone younger and of the right gender.
