Get ready for an exciting, near-future SciFi thriller that will take you on an epic journey around the world and beyond... Mars Journey: Call to Action is the story that marks the beginning of humanity's greatest adventure. In the Mars Journey Series, Brent Carlson, a brilliant but disgraced former astronaut, is called upon to help lead a seemingly impossible international mission from Earth to Mars. Their primary directive is to become the first human pioneers to set foot on Martian soil and begin colonization of the red planet. Now with the clock ticking down, they've entered into a dangerous race against time and a fight with humanity's darker side just to survive long enough to see the launch. *** The Mars Journey series delves into the science, technology, faith, drive, and determination of the human spirit to come together to overcome our greatest challenges. "Want to know what it will take to send humans on their first manned mission to Mars? There has to be a coordinated multi-nation, multi-commercial organization, multi-NGO, and multi-nonprofit effort to get us there. No single nation or agency can make it happen. We need to be moving forward and looking ahead, while leveraging the existing technology to the utmost of its capacity. We need to practice excellent planning, and execute flawless engineering at the same time, we need to be stoking the fires of public awareness and support for the trip. Only then can we make a human mission to Mars happen. There's only one thing for certain: It won't be easy. But that's never been a good enough reason before to stop us from tackling our toughest challenges. Ad Mars et Ultra." -Brent Carlson
