“In The Man from Autumn, Dr Mario E. Martinez cleverly interweaves his Biocognitive Theory into a novel work of fiction. Through the relationship between the main character, writer Enrique Lugo and Breogán, the protagonist in the book he is writing, Martinez guides the reader in a tangible, digestible way, through this theory he developed over years of research about how mind, body and historical culture are inseparable elements that co-emerge to create an individual’s reality and thus modulating their health or lack thereof.
Martinez fast-paced narrative takes the reader on an enjoyable journey of discovery and questioning.”

“Mario Martinez has given us a novel that not only probes the inner recesses of the Vatican and the process of choosing a new Pope, but also the inner recesses of the mind, body, and human relationships. In an intricate interplay of story, science, and theology, Martinez takes us on a journey that leads to hope. This novel will intrigue the mind and comfort the heart.”
