In God's Image

The Earth is dying, its resources drained, and its atmosphere choked with ruin. Desperate for survival, humanity places its hope in Mars—a barren world where dreams of a second chance are forged in fire and sacrifice.

For Captain Rob Collins Jr., the mission is personal. Years ago, his father led the first attempt to colonize Mars. That crew perished under mysterious circumstances, leaving only questions and a chilling warning:

We’re not alone.

Now, aboard the Icarus, Collins and his crew aim to succeed where the first mission failed. But as they unearth remnants of an ancient alien civilization—the enigmatic Thóren—they awaken forces that have been dormant for millennia. The Thóren’s technology is incomprehensibly advanced, their motives a mystery, and their presence a challenge to humanity’s deepest beliefs about creation, legacy, and survival.

As tensions rise among the crew, the lines between trust and betrayal blur. The Thóren’s secrets hold the power to reshape Mars—and humanity itself—but unlocking them may come at a cost too great to bear. What if humanity is not the pinnacle of creation, but merely another step in a cycle far older than Earth itself?

In God’s Image

In God’s Image is an epic tale of discovery and consequence, blending science fiction and philosophical inquiry. It’s a journey into the heart of human ambition and fragility, where the red sands of Mars conceal truths that could save us—or destroy us.

Will humanity rise as creators of its destiny, or fall as fragile echoes of a forgotten past?
