Have you ever wondered what life was like on Mars or what Martians think about Earthlings? Take a journey with a Martian girl named Lill and her special cat Mewe as they explore the universe around them. We call these books science faction instead of just science fiction. They are not only enjoyable to read but a fun learning experience as well. Author Jean E. Lane has woven scientific concepts and facts into her science fiction so readers are exploring and learning along side Lill and Mewe without even knowing it.
Lill and Mewe and the Secrets of Mars
Book one of the Lill and Mewe series
The year is 2456MD, (Mars Date) however the story events are happening in present times. The Martians track time a little differently than us Earthlings. To the average eye, the planet Mars seems dead, uninviting, dusty, and void of water. I say life did exist there at one time, and still does; we just haven’t scratched the surface yet. Maybe there’s a lot more happening than we can imagine, just because you can’t see something, doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist right?
The secrets beneath the surface could tell another story. The story of Lill and Mewe, as told by Lill herself of how she feels about the lost history of Mars, her current life, and the great strides the Martians have made to recapture the advanced intelligence and technology of their past. It’s all about the role they play in our solar system and how they feel about us Earthlings. Are we even worth talking to? What could they possibly learn from us? Maybe we have more to learn from them but are we willing to open our minds?
