Synopsis
Mars has been a seminal setting for countless science fiction adventures-from the worship of Mars as the god of war, to the image of the "angry red planet," the invaders from The War of the Worlds, the mysterious "canals" of Mars, the Edgar Rice Burroughs novels set on Mars, innumerable science fiction movies set on Mars or featuring Martians who come to Earth, and of course, Ray Bradbury's classic The Martian Chronicles.
This fine volume contains seventeen imagination-grabbing tales ranging from the incredible discovery made by a native Martian species which may change the entire course of their future... to a reporter hunting down the crew of the very first mission to land on Mars... to a "rescue" mission to recover an astronaut "kidnapped" by Martians... to a Ray Bradbury Mars story never before published in the United States.
