FRISCO, Texas - Nov. 11, 2025 - PRLog -- On this Veteran's Day we present — The stars are calling your name. That's the promise of Beyond Odyssey, a cinematic science-fiction universe created by Eric Carbaugh, a U.S. Marine veteran and author. In this immersive saga, readers don't just turn pages — they step into the mission, becoming the hero of a story inspired by NASA's enduring spirit of exploration and humanity's longing in the stars.
"This isn't just a sci-fi story," says Carbaugh. "It's what happens when a Marine writes the mission of a saga. The reader isn't watching from the sidelines — they are the mission. Faith. Grit. Brotherhood. Space. That's the spirit of Beyond Odyssey."
At the center is Beyond Odyssey: Genesis Horizon — a graphic+ novella series and interactive online world where readers become Captain Evanson, leading humanity's next journey into the unknown. Each story invites readers to decode hidden "quest codes," unlock secret content, and join the Cosmic Crew for deeper lore and rewards. New episodes arrive each season — expanding a living, evolving universe that celebrates exploration, courage, and wonder.
Carbaugh also produces twice-daily Space Trivia — 90-second, five-question videos shared across social media that make learning about space exciting and accessible for all ages. Future plans include blending immersive storytelling, technology, STEM learning, and more to inspire the next generation of explorers.
Marine Roots, Faith, And A Galactic Reach
Carbaugh's Marine heritage fuels the saga's discipline, brotherhood, and mission-first ethos. Even the legendary Tun Tavern — birthplace of the Marines — has been reimagined within this universe, now standing guard in Pluto's orbit as a symbol of perseverance and legacy.
"Beyond Odyssey carries forward the values that shaped me as a Marine," Carbaugh says. "But it's also about the reader. They're the captain — the one answering the call of the stars."
Rooted in Marine discipline and guided by faith, Beyond Odyssey transforms the search for life beyond Earth into a reflection on creation and calling — proving the same God who made the stars still writes our story. Drawing on C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien, Carbaugh blends faith, imagination, and realism to craft a universe where spiritual truth meets scientific wonder — or, as he puts it, "if C.S. Lewis and Tolkien wrote space adventures."
