“OFF WORLD. Robin Parrish. Bethany House. $14.99 Softcover.
Well, Robin Parrish of North Carolina has written an account set on Aug. 11, 2032, about what happens when a crew from NASA arrives on Mars, has an incredible flight back to Earth – and finds that everyone has vanished. Buildings are empty, cars are lined up at the toll booths with no one in them – the world has disappeared. Eerie? Yes! Could this happen if some terrorists have hidden something with plans to blow the world apart. Is Houston’s NASA and Florida’s Kennedy Space Center taken by surprise? How will we ever know. Until a woman appears. Her name is Mae. Was she ever really born? Was she murdered?
