Una historia ambientada en el futuro, con viajes en el tiempo, científicos super inteligentes, organizaciones interplanetarias, un poco de romance, y misiones para salvar a la humanidad!!!

Como siempre las historias de Esteban te enganchan porque tiene una escritura ligera, aunque por momentos si me mareaba con algún término científico.

Pero no perder el hilo de la historia, los personajes me gustaron, soy fan de Ruchita (una genia), Leo más o menos jajaja (bromeaba con todo) pero cumplió bien su misión.

No me esperaba el giro del final, fue tremendo!! (*0*)

Una historia llena de acción que pone en cuestionamiento el futuro y la moral de los personajes, obligándolos a tomar decisiones difíciles para poder salvar el mundo. Por momentos sentí que estos personajes eran un poco caricaturescos, casi exagerados en sus reacciones y pensamientos, pero la historia se desarrolla muy bien y se lee muy rápido. Una vez que la empezás, te la lees hasta el final.
Tuve algunos problemas con la corrección (o falta de ella) y la maquetación, que no tienen nada que ver con la historia pero igualmente influyen en el disfrute de la lectura.

Thought provoking action packed sci-fi adventure

It starts with an explosion in the vicinity of the outer layer of Earth's atmosphere. A meeting is called with the four friendly extraterrestrial races that make up the Galactic Alliance. In 2028 a manned mission to Mars had uncovered evidence of an ancient civilization. Now an odd couple, an archeologist and a mathematician are called on a journey to unearth ancient discoveries to reveal the secret history of mankind.
This action-packed sci-fi adventure by Esteban Corio will capture you from page one and doesn’t let go until the end. I was drawn to the ancient civilization aspect of the story but was quickly captivated by the brilliant cast of characters Mars: The Mother Country has to offer. This book is story-driven and thought-provoking. An easy read even for those that aren’t accustomed to sci-fi regularly. The chapters are short and easy to follow for readers on the go.
I would recommend this book for fans of Ancient Aliens and Erich von Daniken. You will be fully emerged into the world created by Esteban Corio and find yourself pondering the what-ifs of our universe. Ancient mysteries, extraterrestrials, science, and math are manifested into this plot of heroes and heroines set out to prevent and protect. I would suggest finding a nice window to read this book at night so you can gaze out from time to time and wonder if there is possibly something else out there beyond the stars that could change our planet forever.

𝑻𝒊𝒕𝒍𝒆: MARS The Mother Country
𝑨𝒖𝒕𝒉𝒐𝒓: Esteban Corio

𝑴𝒚 𝑹𝒆𝒗𝒊𝒆𝒘:
MARS The Mother Country penned by the author Esteban Corio is a captivating story that will hook the readers from the first page itself.

The explosion in the vicinity of the outer layer of Earth's atmosphere caught everyone's attention. The UN had a High Commissioner for Earth's Outer Space Affairs, an office called UNOOSA. Marge is a great executive that looks into such matters. She launched the emergency protocol. It is an urgent call to a meeting with the four friendly extraterrestrial races that form the Galactic Alliance.

A meeting with the Rowanian High Council was held. They were planning to execute the Termination Protocol to end the relationship between Alliance and Earth. With no support from Allies, Earth could be invaded easily.

The narration is smooth and easy to follow. Esteban has done great work in world building. I appreciate his vivid imagination. The storyline is nice and the characters are interesting.

Those who love action-packed sci-fi stories should definitely get their hands on this one.

𝑴𝒚 𝑹𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒏𝒈: 4/5

Estuvo bien raro este libro 😂😂
Tiene una buena idea, me gustó ver una Tierra futurista y encima con un protagonista argentino un delirio.

Punto a favor, tiene varios puntos de vistas que le dan más dinamismo a la lectura. Tiene varias referencias a grandes películas de viaje en el tiempo o entre galaxias, como no podía ser de otra forma.

Este es un libro corto y muy dinámico. Situado en una colonia humana en Marte. Leo y Ruchita los protagonistas trabajan ahí y además son pareja.
Tendran la tarea de salvar a la humanidad.
Como todos los libros de Esteban este es de una lectura fácil y muy adictivo. una vez que comenzas a leer sus páginas no podes parar. Es un libro muy recomendado
