To Mars from Rayan Riener, a book beyond oxygen, as a survival manifesto

I hate "water" in texts; it's time to start writing dry again, just like the piercing Martian sand with a high iron content. Even if this, or the book To Mars, makes people's noses bleed from my words again.

Once, this cross-text was a bold step into the unknown — the first Ukrainian LGBT sci-fi. Today, the book To Mars is a constant.

This is a cover that hides not just a plot about survival in the aggressive environment of another planet, but a story of the struggle for the right to be "different" in a world striving for unification.

Exactly, To Mars is a book that knows no borders. We ensure the availability of the English edition worldwide. While others seek compromises, I choose authenticity.

Every copy is a physical confirmation that the voice of minorities can sound loud even in the science fiction genre.

How to get a ticket To Mars?

Since Google search is trashed with a fake book "To Mars!" by Russian author Max Maximov, who published it at the start of the war, stealing not only the title of the first Ukrainian LGBT novel but also the search results that always showed it. Not only in the Russian segment, but also thanks to the Ukrainian publisher FOLIO, which translated the Russian's book into Ukrainian during the war to sell it to this day... what can I say? 

Law? Nationalism? Justice? Power? Gouge out my eyes — I don't see them. 

Globally? The English edition To Mars is available on Amazon for those who value speed and digital convenience. Personally... I ship books across the country and from Ukraine to any point on the planet.

This is not just a purchase, but a direct connection. Every copy ordered through direct or the POPURA shop receives my author's autograph — Rayan Riener.

Visually, in addition to the text, several poster options are available, created by American artist Matthew D. Gran, which visualize the atmosphere of "To Mars." And with the editing of the legendary British editor Gorge M. Hagen (he literally created the best edition). 

Writing this book wasn't about trends; it was about the necessity of existence when the threat of homophobia could literally destroy. And it seems those times have returned. Reading To Mars is important for those who strive to rise above this mundane reality and see the circle of history and the future.
