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

“Don’t you understand, Easy? It doesn’t matter. None of it does. This could be hell, but as long as you’re with me, I’d happily spend eternity here.” My voice cracked. Shit, I’d become emotional. I brushed my other hand across my eyes. “I’m sorry.”


“Don’t be. Somehow we’ll get this to work. Meanwhile, we have to get home first. Let’s worry about it then.”


“I…I don’t think I’ve said it, but I love you, Easy.”


“You did say something to that effect when you killed the lion.”


“I did? I don’t remember.” I’d been too petrified to think of anything beyond the possibility of Doc dying before my eyes and me not being able to do a goddamned thing to prevent it.


“I love you, too, Nicky.” His fingers tightened on mine convulsively, and I brought our hands to my mouth and pressed a kiss to his knuckles. “We’d better get to sleep. Tomorrow will be here soon enough.”


And it was, and we repeated the process all over again.
