Robin Parrish has created another masterpiece with Offworld.

As the product description says, what do you do when you return from Mars and discover everyone is missing?
Is it The Rapture? Alien abductions? Is it all a dream?
Parrish's love of TV's LOST comes out in this novel. Not because the show is referenced by name but because there's a big question (Where is everyone?) that must be resolved and there are the characters who each have their own history which are revealed chapter-by-chapter.
Robin Parrish takes you on the hair-turning ride from the first sentence. You can't put the book down because you just have to find the answers - where in (or out of) the world did society vanish to, and what seems to be following the four surviving astronauts?
Questions abound until about halfway through. And even when you get the answers, you desperately turn the pages to find out how everything will resolve...maybe it won't.

Thanks for the review! There were lots of influences on this one, and Lost was among them, so good catch. :)

I'm immensely jealous that you've gotten your hands on an early copy of this book.
Glad to see your positive review, though. It confirms my suspicions that this will be an AWESOME read.
