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.
"Parrish balances vivid emotion and storytelling tension deftly, while keeping the questions coming at a breakneck pace. He has made himself a mainstay in modern fiction with this fantastic novel." --John Wofford, TheChristianManifesto.com
"Robin Parrish spins a speculative sci-fi tale in this futuristic thriller.... [His] knack for suspense makes Offworld an exciting read." --John D. Leatherman, Christian Retailing
"Parrish is quite good at writing instantly likeable characters and then throwing them into suspenseful, mysterious situations, which we first found out in his Dominion Trilogy. You can clearly see the influence Lost has had upon the author here. We don't immediately know everything about Captain Christopher Burke and his crew, however, we find out a great deal about them as they investigate the vanishings. Gleaning new information on the characters is just as compelling as learning about the mystery, in this reviewer's humble opinion.
"If you're looking for an interesting science fiction yarn with a few supernatural elements, you'd do well to purchase Offworld." --Wesley Johnson, Insulinfunk.com
"Author Robin Parrish has quite a flair for action, and readers will find Offworld to be both sharp and thoughtful. An urgent tone and a number of combat scenes move the story along nicely.... I immensely enjoyed the mystery unfolding--especially with regard to the character Mae, who I spent the entire book trying to fathom. I also really appreciated the idea that the astronauts earn their stripes and prove themselves more than worthy of their titles. With NASA recently making headlines for the Mars exploration program, the release of this science fiction thriller comes at an exciting time." --Melanie Smith, FaithfulReader.com
"Offworld is big sci-fi fun, layered with mystery, characters with depth, and cross-country disasters." --Cory Clubb, Titletrakk.com
"...Offworld keeps the level of mystery obscure enough and compelling enough to keep the reader engaged until the end. Throw in some action scenes and some heroic astronauts and you have a pretty entertaining read." --5MinutesforBooks.com
