The Ancestor in the Mirror

De: Mendez Machin

Narrado por: Nicholas Vespia

I designed and started to write The Ancestor in the Mirror as a cross-curricular material while I was working as a Earth Space Science and Biology teacher in Lauderdale Lakes, Florida. The main point was to provide support to a group of ELL students who were struggling with different subjects. I started to gather information in 2012 and finished my research when I moved to Boston, Massachusetts. I finished the novel in Colorado, in 2016. However, it took me two additional years to complete both the proofreading and the editorial process. The Ancestor in the Mirror was then published in 2018 as a standalone historical-fiction novel.

The book is not related to any school of educational system. This is an independent work that may be used in the classroom to connect subjects. I am an educational researcher and consultant graduated from the University of Nebraska at Kerney, U.S.A. I have no links to any educational institutions in Colorado or Utah. I don't work for any other publishing companies in the U.S. but exclusively for PORTAL PUBLISHING SERVICES, LLC. You can find most of my musical and literary works recorded in The Library of Congress under my U.S. name 'Noel Mendez', my Cuban name "Noel Mendez Machin", and my pen name 'Mendez Machin".

The author’s attention to detail is amazing

The author’s attention to detail is amazing! The writing here is so carefully crafted that it makes it easy to get sucked right in. I can’t wait to listen to more of their work!

I enjoyed every minute of this audio.

This book was fantastic. There is so much information, especially for a beginner like me. So many things were written down on my tablet and pencil.

I loved this book

I am an identical twin so it caught my attention..happy to say my Twinnie &I are best friends- these two- totally different stories!!

So much potential

Now that the foundation Has been laid, I hope they don’t carry on with useless details and stories that could have been easily describe without tangents. The reader was amazing but I found the story a bit boring. I love the concept and it was well written but I feel like the author could’ve given us a little bit more depth with less verbiage.

Extremely encouraging and exciting audible

This is a fascinating, mind-boggling tale that will help pupils develop critical thinking skills and an interest in both history and the sciences. Time travel, myth, science, and history are all intertwined in this thought-provoking audiobook.

Useful and informative audiobook

This is not a book for those looking for light listening. Rife with history, time travel, and scientific language (that I can barely follow, personally), a clear mind is required for understanding this story. This story doesn’t just tell history through multiple characters' focuses, but it shows alternate timelines, where one person’s chaos changes an entire future.

It is very informative and factual

Science and mysticism are pitted against one other in Mendez Machin's multiverse, which he characterizes as a collection of worlds.It's an engrossing look at how people's perspectives and psyches evolve through time, as well as how even the most selfish deed may have global consequences.

It was quick listen with a wealth of information.

Quantum physics and time travel are at the heart of this action-packed work of historical fiction. A separate realm is opened up by The Ancestor in the Mirror.

This is a awfully helpful audio book

This was a beautiful novel that I will recall for a long time. Thank you, Down and Out audio Books and Net Galley for the opportunity to listen this audio book. My opinions are my own and freely given.

The best audio-book

I adore this audiobook so much. I can understand the educational usefulness of this thought-provoking audiobook that combined time travel, myth, science, and history.
