The Mission series is a mix of new and old science fiction influences. The series is fast-paced, full of adventure and fun and most of all, hopeful about the future. I was mainly inspired by Edgar Rice-Burroughs's Barsoom series and George Lucas's original Star Wars films, as well as other science fiction influences from the past. The hero, Bob Astor, is just a regular guy. A quality assurance supervisor in fact, working in a big corporation who has a keen curiosity, a good heart, and a willingness to help others in trouble – and he gets himself into hot water along the way to saving the day!

. . .

Bob Astor is a Quality Assurance agent working at Vartan Inc. Lately his days have been stressful, to say the least! Butting heads with upper management has put his career on life support. A surprising change in circumstance has Bob going on a business trip to the moon city, Langrenus. On the way, he meets one of the delegates on board the Starbird, a desperate man with a dark past and a very dangerous secret. Through a mysterious series of events Bob finds himself in the middle of an interplanetary crisis that no one knows about. These secrets could change - or destroy - all human life on Earth. The key to the answer of the crises is on the Red Planet, Mars. It's up to Bob, the burnt-out Q. A. agent to rise to the occasion and stem the dangerous tide coming from beyond the solar system!
