Publisher Description
The discovery of a new world may be the very thing that threatens the freedom of the human race and changes the destiny of mankind forever.
Twenty-three years after the disappearance of the Mars I space shuttle, NASA receives a mysterious transmission from Adrian Palmer, the commander of the mission. Adrian's brother, Kevin, wastes no time funding the Mars II rescue mission commanded by Jake Palmer, Adrian's son. Jake and Dr. Steven "Skip" Hendricks, a NASA physicist, travel through a wormhole that Skip believes was the reason the Mars I crew disappeared. They eventually crash-land on the planet Terrest and are thrust into a war beyond their human limitations. The native Terrestrians are at war against a super-race of humans called the Gnols, led by Koroan Chast. However, the Terrestrian's struggle is futile because of the godlike abilities of the Gnols. Now, the only hope mankind has may rest on a 2000-year-old prophecy discovered in an ancient temple on Terrest. But before the prophecy can come to pass. Adrian and Jake must first stop the Gnols from attacking Earth and enslaving the human race.
Customer Reviews
Couldn't make it past the first few pages
I had to stop reading when I read about the call to earth. Come on Shaun. The ship is close to Mars and you make use of near instantaneous communications? Assume earth and Mars are at their closest. Light speed will still make this a record-and-send conversation. There should be some science in sci-fi.
Christian faith based novel
Enjoyable. Nice weaving of the Christian version of god and the universe into a sci-fi novel.
Worlds Without End: The Mission
Sounded like it was going to be good. It wasn't. Instead of a good story I got a religious sermon. What a waste of time. Couldn't even finish it. Characters were washed out religious nuts.. It seemed like every other page they were spouting off about god and quoting scriptures. If I wanted to read the bible I would. Totally ruined what would have been a good story line. If I could have rated this a -1 I would have. Just sucked. Should be relabeled as a Christian book.
