The Mars Conspiracy by Dr.Razi Ahmed  ⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Mars Conspiracy is a sci-fi thriller that blends ancient history, alien encounters, and space exploration. The book follows the story of Noel Minj, a visionary who dreams of establishing a human colony on the red planet, and Dr Daniel Soren, a scientist who joins his project. However, they soon discover that their quest has a link to the mysterious Pharaoh Ankhenaten, who was helped by the 'visitors from the sun-disc' to save his dying son. It is a fictional work, but it draws on some real theories and legends about the visitors from the sun-disc and their possible connection to Mars. The characters are well-developed and realistic, each with their motives and challenges. It's a thrilling and imaginative story full of twists and turns that will keep you hooked till the end. QOTD: Do you read more at night or during the day? #themarsconspiracy #razi
