I can't remember many details, but this was a nice look at how people conceptualized Mars before we knew that it was a barren desert.

G. Wells Letters from Mars - W. S. Lach-Szyrman The Great Sacrifice - George C. Wallis The Forgotten Man of Space - P. Schuyler Miller A Martian Odyssey - Stanley G. Weinbaum Ylla - Ray Bradbury Measureless to Man - Marion Zimmer Bradley Without Bugles - E. C. Tubb Crucifixus Etiam - Walter M. Miller, Jr. The Time-Tombs - J. G. Ballard My Thoughts: There's a reason most of these stories are in public domain and not held on by copyright shenanigans. They're unassuming and rather forgettable. Even with that statement, these stories were head and shoulders above the Moon stories. Ugh, now those were boring! The one thing I have to keep in mind with reading this series is that these are foundational stories, something that other authors read and then built upon. You can't compare a foundation to a gilded staircase. But you can't have that staircase built solidly without the foundation. One thing that stood out to me was the overall positive view of the authors. Even that weirdo Bradbury's story, while twisted and creepy, was still very light. Heck, even Ballard, that evil sentient who rivals the devil himself, his story wasn't depressing at all. Even saying that, I'll still be glad when I wrap up this series. ★★★☆☆ geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

"This volume collects ten stories about Mars from the golden age of science fiction when scientists speculated that there might once have been life on Mars. Ten authors, writing between 1880 and 1965 give us ten very different views of what life on Mars might look like, or might have once been, and might teach us about our own options as colonizers of other planets or as caretakers of our own Earth"--Publisher info.
