Double the Content, Double the Angst: Introducing 'Wrong Side of Mars', A Sci-Fi NTR VN (Patreon)

THE YEAR IS 2165. Humanity has colonised one part of the Red Planet. But where the colonies are gleaming domes of order and civilization, the rest of the planet remains a desolate hell.

Mission Captain Neil, a veteran pilot and expert navigator thought this was a routine run. His objective: transport two high grade private security specialists, Jerome and Liam, along with senior botanist Craig, to the burgeoning Colony.

But for Neil, this trip was personal. Beside him sat Lena, his gorgeous wife and the love of his life. A brilliant geologist, Lena is soft, feminine, and fiercely intelligent, a woman who brings light into every room. This was supposed to be her 3 month field specialization. A safe, controlled internship before returning to Earth, back to their life together.

But something happened during the final approach. A massive, unpredicted Coronal Mass Ejection (CME) struck the ship. The solar radiation fried the navigation arrays and thruster controls instantly. The automated braking burn failed. They didn't land at the colony. They overshot it by thousands of miles.

The ship crash landed on the "Dark Side" of the planet, an uncharted sector filled with ancient, abandoned outposts from the failed First Wave of colonisation.

Status: Stranded.

Rescue Estimate: 8 to 14 months.

Supplies: Sufficient… if rationed.

They are alive, but the rules of Earth died with the ship. Inside the cramped, claustrophobic outpost, the hierarchy of the civilized world is beginning to dissolve. Neil is the Captain by rank, but on the dust choked surface of Mars, rank means nothing. Strength and survival skills are the only laws.

Jerome and Liam are built for war, not navigation. They are “Security”, alpha predators with primal energy and quickly realizing that the man giving the orders is the least qualified person in the room when it comes to surviving on the Red Planet.

And then there is Lena. The only woman for thousands of miles. Beautiful, vulnerable, and married to a man who can navigate the stars, but cannot defend his claim against the primal hierarchy silently taking shape within the outpost.

As the months drag on, the civilized mask will slip. Will Neil be able to hold onto his command? Will Lena remain the loyal wife, or will the raw, unfiltered law of the jungle force her to seek protection from the strongest males in the pack?
