The hallmark of a classic story is that it has the distinctive style of
taking the reader in numerous intriguing yet unexpected directions.
Just when you thought you had the story figured out a main suspect died
or an overlooked clue took on new significance. That change converted
reader expectations to fervent anticipation and quickened the heart
thus making the story a true 'page turner'. Mars Voratu has that
distinction and is destined to be a Sci-fi classic.
In Mars V, author David Lee Jones presents his own distinct literary
style as he carefully crafts, and then unveils the story as if it were
a secret so ancient and devastating that knowing it would alter the
course of mankind. Mr. Jones takes the reader on a journey that spans
worlds of space and time and intuitively threads these worlds to
explain a myriad of the human mysteries of this planet that have
astounded and confounded historians and archeologists since time
immemorial.
I am a science fiction nut including the proverbial dedication to the
Star Trek television series and its many variations. I have read the
greats stories from Azimov, Clarke and Bradbury and enjoyed their
literary expertise. I spent many continuous hours reading Hurbert,
Brooks, and the indomitable story teller, J. R. Tolken. At the heart
of all these authors was a passion for their subject and a brilliant
mind both focused on explaining their tale in a way that enthralls the
reader. Mr. Jones shows no less vigor or intelligence in his
expressive and fast paced first book, Mars Voratu. It is one of the
best stories I have read in a long while and it is most imaginative
story I have ever read. Kudos to David Lee and congratulations-I
can't wait for the sequel.

A true Sci-fi classic. MarsVaratu takes the reader into such a place
as to put oneself in the story with the characters. The descriptive
and imaginative writing allows for the possibility in one's mind, to
be a reality, leaving the reader wanting more.
Truly captivating is use of the time dimensions. The careful
structuring of characters plays out, along with the ultimate focus on
the part of writer, David Lee Jones, to carefully lead the reader from
one time zone to the next with important and deliberate details. All
of the characters seemed to forge on in an amazing parallel as years
and in some cases centuries passed and arrived in the same dimension.
I didn't want the story to end. I look forward to Mr. Jones' next
great writings.
Very Sincerely,
