Location: UK		Hi daxxh,My first book for this challenge is Leigh Brackett's Sword of Rhiannon.The 50s was the last decade that old notions about Martians were even faintly credible,as telescopes became ever sharper,and the Mariner programme would kick off in 1962.
.I always adored ERBs colourful Barsoom series,and Brackett too has a dying Mars rather degenerate and seedy,but then the fun begins when we go back to when there were oceans on Mars. Great fun.
Brackett's tales could be as tough and violent as any of the male authors of the time,,but included excellent depictions of landscape and culture,and at least gave some sort of motivation to her characters not to be found in the male authors.Its enjoyable seeing the subtle female author point of view.
