Book 1 of the Hope Series
In the year 2128, humankind suffers from the effects of climate change, including rising sea levels, devastating weather, droughts, wildfires, and severe food shortages. Over the past century, changes in the atmosphere have triggered irreversible ecosystem effects. Ocean life is dying, crops have been devastated, and crime is rampant. Everywhere, nations are on the verge of anarchy, and societies are in decline.
The United Nations has commissioned Project Hope to build a starship that will journey to Alpha Centauri to colonize an Earth-like planet, and able nations have joined in the effort. Vincent Senn, an aeronautical engineer, teams up with Jeremiah Jasper, a master project manager, to design and build rockets to launch components and systems into orbit where they will be assembled. However, they face many challenges including angry, violent mobs and climatic effects that threaten to bring Project Hope to a halt.

A multinational team races to establish a settlement on the towering slopes of Olympus Mons before rival factions claim the planet. But the chosen site holds a dark secret. Explorations uncover a cavern where the colony's main dome was to be built - a cavern that shouldn't exist. Stranger still, it moves.

What begins as a pioneering mission to secure humanity's future spirals into a nightmare of unraveling sanity and relentless mystery. Trapped millions of miles from Earth, the crew must confront the truth of what they've found - and what it means for all of humanity. The next shuttle home won't arrive for a year.

Return to Earth
This is a completed novel that has been proofed. Editing will begin in April, 2022. Shortly after the first ships were sent to colonize Mars all communication with Earth was lost. The other ships that were supposed to arrive never did. What had started as the first of many became the only ones. Domes were built to protect the people living there, since Mars could not be conquered as the early scientists had hoped. Rather than their dreams of taming a planet, they settled for living with a place never meant for humans. Kierst is one of the descendants of those early settlers and works on the interior of one the domes. His job gives him the solitude he prefers with both work and home. He has no family and no friends, which is one of the reasons he is chosen to learn the truth about what happened to Earth and why everyone on Mars must return. He is among a small group who are entrusted with the greatest secret of his government. If his group fails, there will be no future for those living on Mars. Their secret fate lies with those who must return to Earth.Complete
