This is a novel for children, in the older age group, who know of the vast expanse of the Universe that stretches unto infinity and of recent successes in space exploration.
The seed idea for the story was provided by American space probes that led to the landing of two Rover spacecraft on Mars in January 2004. Many scientists refer to Mars as an Earth’s Twin.
The blend of fact and fiction is what makes this novel truly fantastic. It is this fusion that makes a lasting impact on the target audience.
Kofi Annan was standing before a mirror and straightening his tie when the telephone rang.
“Morning, Mr. Secretary-General. This is George Bush.”
“Morning, Mr. President.”
“I want a special session of the UN General Assembly to discuss and decide our future course of action on the current U.S. space probe of Mars.” The President further shared all the details he possessed with the Secretary-General.
Kofi Annan’s lower lip dropped when he heard that intelligent life forms had been spotted on Mars. It seemed incredible when he learnt that the Martians were technically so advanced, that they had put Rover Spirit in a state of hibernation and later revived it.
