In this reality, timelines shift and the fate of worlds might rest on his shoulders. From the harsh earth beneath his feet to the distant red planet, Rural Route to Mars is a story of courage, identity, and the power of dreams to take us places no one could imagine.small town sci-fi adventure, teenager goes to Mars, coming of age science fiction, farm boy space journey, time travel and identity, Nebraska sci-fi novel, young adult space adventure
