[Worlds Without End 01] • Worlds Without End

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 dangerous conflict. The native Terrestrians are at war against a super-race of humans called the Gnols, led by Koroan Chast.

The Terrestrian's struggle is futile because of the Gnols godlike abilities. 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.

Message from the author:

Worlds Without End: The Mission is a book that is deeply embedded with doctrine from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Its intended audience is for fans of LDS fiction. However, I have had several readers who are not LDS comment on how much they enjoy the book. If you don't mind the religious doctrine, which is pertinant to the story line, then you will enjoy this book.

The Mission is the first book of a four book series. This book does contain a lot of scriptural references to LDS doctrine, but this sets the foundation for the rest of the books in the series. Aftermath, the second book in the series, is scheduled for release in the Summer of 2012.
