Banned on Mars! A space opera comedy with satiric tone, The Voyages of Ralf owes as much to Douglas Adams as Philip K. Dick.

In the year 1969 SR (Since Reset), Mars leads a flourishing tri-galactic alliance. Space Corps Intern Ralf has had a brain-load full of the Academy and now, as he starts his second internship, he has already completed one top secret mission, suffered a great personal loss, and dealt with Zin pirates.

In a world where 'ugly' is a swear word, and the Equal Sign (=) is the primary religious icon of the status quo, Ralf is on a far-ranging adventure of personal discovery, growth, and a quest for the truth, even if it upends Martians' long-held beliefs about themselves.
