Opening Line: "A billion years after the destruction of Mars, Mars had become a red, desert planet, inhabited only by robots."
Sparky was created by the Mad Doctor in his laboratory in Robot City. Soon after he is sent on a mission with Blasto, and Melody to robot factory to test out his newfound abilities. It's here that Sparky and his new friends encounter the Supervisior's henchmen, Lurker and Gor and get surrounded by various bots that guard the factory. Will they be able to escape capture?
I was first contacted by Author Marketing Experts about reviewing this new middle grade science fiction series coming to Apple Books. I've got to admit I was a little hesitant as I haven't really used this format before, but it was pretty simple to download. The author was also so generous, providing both the Kindle and enhanced Apple Books version of Robots of Mars. What first intrigued me about the series was the authors background in designing 3D films for theme park rides and theaters. Robots of Mars apparently took five years and entailed over 1,000 illustrations and his hard work really shows. The graphic illustrations in this book are gorgeous, filled with all these vibrant colors and very detailed. The enhanced Apple Books version has a read aloud feature narrated by Edoardo Baller which I especially enjoyed as the Kindle version's writing was difficult for me to read on my iPad. I loved all the various character voices that the narrator used, and it really added to the enjoyment of the story. I honestly can't say enough about the graphics. They truly make the story come to life. I can see why there is a film currently in development, this would make for an exciting children's television series. I'd highly recommend the enhanced version to children who like exciting stories with the feel of Wizard of Oz meets Frankenstein with Robots.
**A huge thank you to Author Marketing Experts and Don Fox for the opportunity to read/review Robots of Mars and the Ebook in exchange for an honest review**
