Walking on Mars I and II

Walking on Mars I: A Journey to the Red Planet

It is the year 2037 and Stan Rhodes is the American captain of Endurance III, a V-shaped spacecraft on the last leg of a 56-million-kilometer journey to Mars. Soon after landing, the crew discovers unknown architectural wonders from an ancient civilization. Rhodes and his crew breach a magnificent pyramid, finding statues and cryptic writing that chronicle the life of a revered Martian king. Inscriptions tell how the monarch played a major role in ridding the region of monstrous, predatory beasts, and a life-size statue depicts this legendary ruler bravely facing off with one. Join this team of explorers as they go Walking on Mars; venturing deep into the subterranean passageways of a shrine from a lost world.

Walking on Mars II: Returning to the Red Planet

In the year 2041, Captain Stan Rhodes returns to planet Mars with a fresh crew and resumes exploring a region called the Cydonia Complex. Investigating architectural wonders from an ancient civilization, they revisit a magnificent five-sided pyramid discovered on the first mission and survey its subterranean passageways. When searching for the ruins of a city called Gaugamar forever buried in the sand, the team is asked by mission planners to penetrate the outer shell of another monument. This leads them to breaching a burial shrine from an older kingdom built for a monarch named Nemnasu. Within the funerary chamber of this monument they encounter an extraordinary life-force, and a text explains how this entity, comprised of a mass of energy, came to be interned in the tomb. The mission is further threatened when one of the team contracts an ancient disease and this person copes with horrifically monstrous changes in their physiology. Come and join this crew of five as they make new discoveries while struggling to survive on the Red Planet.
