Thelma Ritchie, a retired National Board Certified Teacher and Christian who has a passion for science, has completed her new book, "Return to Terra Nova: Conquering Fear": an intricately told story confronting themes of winning over fear and surmounting challenges with unwavering faith and great courage.
Thelma writes, "A planet of intrigue, Mars beckons. Would you go if you had the chance? 'Return to Terra Nova—Conquering Fear' presents compelling reasons to make the trip, convincing the reader that living and working on an alien planet is a future reality. Mars is humanity's next frontier. This first volume of Thelma Ritchie's new trilogy about the Martian settlement Terra Nova gives her readers a glimpse into the bravery and sacrifice required for participating in this grand adventure.
"Tackling the theme of overcoming fear with faith, Ritchie weaves together a story guaranteed to push the limits of the imagination. As always, she writes an exciting and educational book of fiction with realistic characters to emulate. Christian principles and accurate science are combined in an adventure that all ages will enjoy. The sky isn't the limit as the 'Newton' prepares to liftoff from Nicholson's Earth orbiter and blast through space, faster than a racing bullet."
Published by Covenant Books of Murrells Inlet, South Carolina, Ritchie's new book is designed to teach readers about accurate science while being inspired to dream about explorations beyond the moon.
Readers can purchase "Return to Terra Nova: Conquering Fear" at bookstores everywhere, or online at the Apple iTunes Store, Amazon, or Barnes & Noble.
