In the year 2047, Mars is no longer a distant dream—it's a burgeoning republic struggling to chart its own destiny among the stars. For Captain Tatiana Ortega and her ragtag crew aboard the revolutionary deep-space vessel Speaker-To-Seafood, the mission is clear: intercept the comet Damocles and harness its resources to terraform Mars, forging a livable future for generations to come.
But nothing is ever simple in the void. Earth Corps views the Martian endeavor as an existential threat, and their destructive response could obliterate years of careful planning—and lives. As tensions mount and sacrifices loom large, Tatiana must rally her crew to overcome impossible odds, navigate interplanetary politics, and preserve Mars’s fragile bid for independence.
With razor-sharp dialogue, unforgettable characters, and gripping action that spans the solar system, Off The Plane explores the delicate dance between ambition and survival, loyalty and liberation.
Will humanity’s boldest gamble lead to a new beginning—or its ultimate undoing?
