A Thrilling Journey to Mars Where Survival Tests the Mind, Innovation Drives Progress, and the Future Is Stranger than Fiction. Strap In!

Mars is a harsh and unforgiving environment—where survival depends on cutting-edge science, human ingenuity, and daring decisions. Imagine being trapped in a Martian lava tube: oxygen dwindling, water gone, suit batteries nearly drained, and freezing temperatures creeping in. Only through technology and determination can you survive.

Years later, ascend the space elevator to the Martian Rehab Orbiter, a marvel of human engineering that features artificial lakes, atmospheric regulation, and advanced life-support systems, enabling space tourism. On the surface, autonomous robotic pickers harvest orchards, Centaur Walking Wagons enrich sterile soil, and MG Aerocars streak through high-tech slalom races.

As artificial intelligence evolves, critical questions emerge—will sentient robots become humanity’s greatest allies or our greatest threat? Built on real and plausible science, Outbound: Meta Mars explores human expansion into space, where technology and survival are inseparably linked.

Are you ready for the journey?

“Richard Anderson has created a franchise filled with meaningful characters that explores a very possible and frightening human future, but ultimately one with hope.”
