Summer starts with Mars

In August 2015 a special about Mars was offered in this blog. Now in 2016, the red planet is still the main topic in the science fiction genre: 

In autumn we had The Martian (Scott, 2015) with an excellent performance by Matt Damon showing a scientific scenario future astronauts might have to face. 

Sadly, new generations got to know the song “Life on Mars?” when the legendary singer and musician David Bowie died on the 10^th of January 2016. 

Finally, on May 13^th 2016 came out the new version of the classic Doom with promising Martian landscapes and lots of action. 

As an extra, we now offer an expansion on the classic portrayal of Mars with the following: 

Total Recall (Verhoeven, 1990) based on the short story “We Can Remember It for You Wholesale” (Dick, 1966). 

John Carter (Stanton, 2012) based on A Princess of Mars (Burroughs, 1912). 

To end, just to relax and maybe use as a wallpaper you have this wonderful selection of sci-fi illustrations about Mars and Doom.

The Guardians of the Earth Type Planets official trailer for its 1st anniversary

The Guardians of the Earth Type Planets first trailer for its 1^st anniversary which took place on April 7^th, 2014. This science fiction novel was written for many years until it was finally published as an ebook on AmazonKindle. What began as a simple story created for entertainment, it turned out to be a long novel where many science fiction concepts are explored such as time travel or artificial intelligence. The inspiration to write it over the years came from the love I have for science fiction movies and also for classic authors like Isaac Asimov or Aldous Huxley. The trailer uses modified images from the nature and different landscapes of Nottingham, England, in order to symbolize the different locations of planet Twinmortal.
