Old Mars by George R.R. Martin

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


*** Possible Spoilers ***

These short stories are a nod to the era of pulp sci-fi. In those times it was quite common for authors to chose Mars as a setting for their story. Then science determined that Mars was a lifeless desert and authors chose other venues for their work. But fiction is fiction and this set of authors decided to have some fun with the red planet once again and the produced a number of excellent stories that are fun to read. Martians come in all shapes and sizes. Many are cool to humans, some are helpful and some warlike. They're all different and all entertaining. If you like sci-fi with plenty of improbable critters and lots of action then this is a great book to read.
