    Mars the Warning 
    Book 4 of 6 – the martian uprising 
    This fourth story in the series I have written is summarized below; 
    As the Martian revolt reaches its climax, Dr. Lin Mei witnesses humanity's desperate last stand at Outpost Alpha. Crystalline warships emerge from Mars' soil, dismantling human defenses with terrifying precision. General Drake's military forces are crushed at Olympus Mons, while Martian weapons systematically destroy terraforming equipment across the planet. When Martians breach the command center, their leader delivers an ultimatum through fractured translations: "Leave or perish." Drake insists on fighting, but Lin negotiates a fragile truce—humanity will abandon Mars in exchange for safe passage. As evacuation orders spread, the Martians reveal their planet's wounded ecosystems through holograms, forcing humans to confront their destructive colonization. In the shadow of crystalline armadas, Lin broadcasts the retreat, acknowledging Mars was never humanity's to claim. The uprising ends not with annihilation but a bitter lesson: coexistence requires respect, not conquest. As ships lift off, Lin glimpses a future where humans may return—not as conquerors, but as humble guests to a civilization far older than their own.  
    I do hope you enjoy this fourth instalment, and its only $3. 
    the initial opening credit music which does run to approximately 2 plus minutes sets the scene, so to speak, this is heavy metal first but give it a chance and you will be surprised (I felt the martian beings would be extremely angry over humans trying to steal their planet hence the sound) ends with a warning sound music track like an alarm as the next episode will see them emerge to do battle, 1 minutes plus.  
    The book itself runs to about 15 minutes and is narrated in my own voice.  
    I do hope you enjoy this audiobook and let me know what you think, there are a lot more to come!

    It’s the beginning of eighth grade, and Nat Beacon is nervous. Not only will she be the New Kid, but the New Kid in a Wheelchair. And the school year starts off rocky: No one seems friendly, and she can’t get to the cafeteria without help. But there are a few bright spots. Namely, her best friend, Hudson; her boyfriend (swoon!), Malik; and her very favorite thing: theater. This year, there’s a middleschool theater competition, and any production that wins their regional competition will get the chance to perform—on a real Broadway stage! 
     
    Nat couldn’t be more excited. This is her chance to make it big and prove she belongs at her new school! Nat wows the director and gets cast in the school production: Footloose! But rehearsals are super stressful. Dance diva Skye wants more complex choreography, Malik keeps flaking for band practice, and Hudson gives Nat the cold shoulder, leaving Nat confused and alone. Nat starts to wonder whether she can really carry the show to Broadway and whether, without her friends, it’s worth doing theater at all. 
     
    Full of heart, friendship, and so much song, Cut Loose! by Tony Award winner Ali Stroker and Stacy Davidowitz is an uplifting story about embracing your strengths, standing out, and standing up for what you believe in.
