ABOUT THE AUTHOR:

Robin Parrish had two great ambitions in his life: to have a family, and to be a published novelist. In March of 2005, he proposed to his future wife the same week he signed his first book contract with Bethany House Publishers. They contracted him for the rights to not only that first book, Relentless — but two sequels including Fearless and Merciless. A trilogy that unfolded in the consecutive summers of 2006, 2007, and 2008.

Robin Parrish is a journalist who’s written about pop culture for more than a decade. Currently he serves as Senior Editor at XZOOSIA.com, a community portal that fuses social networking with magazine-style features about entertainment and culture. He and his wife, Karen and son live in North Carolina.

ABOUT THE BOOK:

“Every Person on This Planet Has Disappeared.”

Commander Christopher Burke and his crew are humanity’s greatest explorers. They’ve finished their mission on the red dirt of Mars and now they just want to get back to Earth. To see friends, family, and loved ones. To be home. But even with communication to ground control cut and a perilous landing, nothing could prepare the crew for what they discover when they step foot back on planet Earth.

Everyone…everywhere…is gone.

It’s not a dream. It’s not a trick. Now Burke and his team have one mission: find out who or what is behind the disappearance of all mankind.

MY REVIEW:

When four U. S. astronauts crash land  upon their return to earth after an extended time on Mars, they find the entire planet almost totally devoid of human life as well as all animals, birds, and insects. When they discover a massive column of brilliant light that seems to be centered in Houston, they embark on a cross country journey to discover what is behind the disappearance of life on earth.

Offworld chronicles the exploits of of the crew as well as their trials and tribulations during their trek. Parrish does a superb job relating the emotional response of each member to their unusual circumstances. Filled with adventure, danger, and suspense, Offworld is another winner from Robin Parrish.
