Mars and Martians and Nothing But Mars and Martians 2 - Twenty Vintage Sci-Fi Short Stories: Martian Mayhem, Mystery, and Mind-Blowing Missions

In the great age of classic science fiction, writers kept returning to one world more than any other — a place of thin air, endless horizons, and secrets buried beneath red dust.

Mars and Martians and Nothing But Mars and Martians 2 brings together twenty remarkable vintage stories from the 1930s through the 1960s — tales of explorers, settlers, scientists, wanderers, and the strange beings who may already call Mars home.

Some stories are tense and thought-provoking. Some are ironic and playful. Others remind us that the unknown rarely behaves the way we expect.

Here you’ll find unforgettable works from masters such as Ray Bradbury, Philip K. Dick, Isaac Asimov, Fritz Leiber, Clifford D. Simak, John Wyndham, Harlan Ellison, and more — each imagining Mars in a different light: dangerous, curious, hopeful, lonely, and deeply mysterious.

Travel across forgotten outposts. Walk ancient ruins.

Listen closely for signals that may not be meant for us.

And along the way, discover just how much stories about Mars tell us about ourselves.
