Book MYView: Offworld by Robin Parrish

"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.

Watch the book trailer:

MYView: With this year marking the 4oth anniversary of the first walk on the Moon, there seems to be a renewed interest in space travel. I'm starting to see a lot of movie and television trailers surrounding astronauts and space travel. I'm happy about it, because we need fresh story lines. However, I'd be happy to steer away from the alien invasions and focus mainly on mankind. Just think about it: We can have romance, suspense, mystery, comedy (think, I Dream of Jeannie?) you name it, all centering around astronauts and the space program. Way to go!

Offworld offers enough action, adventure, and suspense that you won't mind reading your way through a movie night! Do something different, and pass the book around, allowing everyone to read out loud. This is a book everyone will enjoy, keeping you guessing long into the night. If you're a weeper, keep a tissue handy as you near the end of the book. You just might need it.
