An interview with MarkRussell about his latest ScienceFiction satire TravelingtoMars, with art by RobertoMeli, about a nobody, sent to Mars to reclaim it for its minerals before anyone else does. ABLAZE

\n place in the not-too-far-future where Earth's resources are depleted, and a nobody named Roy Livingston is sent to Mars to claim the rare minerals for a US corporate power before anyone else does. Why was Roy picked as opposed to a highly trained astronaut? Why? Because Roy is dying of cancer and has nothing else to live for, so he's not someone who will be missed in case things go south.

As if, 'surely things can't get any stupider than this!' But as you, and Jeff Goldblum, point out… life finds a way. In terms of how I ended up with this reputation, to the extent I have it, it wasn't conscious. Nothing about my career has been strategic or even modestly thought out. I just write about what it is I really want to talk about at the moment and what preoccupies me is the fact that the raft we're on is heading toward a waterfall.
