The fight for the space mission begins in his homeworld.
Brock Rivers never wanted to be a repairman on Mars. Years ago, he failed to protect his family, and now he labors across a frontier planet to keep his children alive and escape CAUSE. But the spacefaring humanist regime is taking over Martian colonies, forcing all to join the secular state.
Back in Brock’s homeworld, his people summon him to fulfill old hopes with a new dream. After decades of cultural isolation, they plan to restore missions for the 22nd century, voyaging beyond Earth to share the gospel in space. Brock must find a ship and recruit a team of misfit believers. They expect opposition from the formidable CAUSE, but not from a more deceptive enemy.
One adversary attacks from the shadows to destroy the faithful. Others unify to oppose the project. Brock and his family must fight to resist these enemies of the space mission or else return to exile forever.

MY THOUGHTS
The worldbuilding was excellent. I could see something similar actually happening in the future. It was a very immersive read. I felt like I was right there beside these characters.
I loved that this book featured a married couple. I liked Brock and Alicia a lot and enjoyed seeing their loving and supportive relationship.
I loved how passionate the characters were about spreading the Gospel. It was inspiring to see them working so hard on getting the Mission started. There were definitely problems along the way. Big ones. Seemingly insurmountable ones. But I loved their resiliency and continued trust in the Lord.
The danger and excitement kept ramping up, and I found myself losing all track of time. I was so absorbed in it.
This was an absolute blast to read. It was very inspiring. I really hope there’s a sequel. If you’re looking for science fiction with a strong Christian message, grab a copy of this book. You’ll love it! I highly, highly recommend it!
I received a copy of this book and voluntarily reviewed it. All thoughts and comments are my honest opinion.
