Description
The science fiction Escape from Earth explores humanity at its more bare. What might happen if a religious pioneer goes to a planet being settled by climate refugees escaping the catastrophes on Earth?
An entire family attempts transit to a planet distant from Earth to find others of their faith and surprising results occur while the refugees cope with an unfamiliar world, its weather, its wildlife, its native sentient beings, a flood of additional refugees, food shortage, lack of communication and a rebellion. Can anyone return home to Earth?
