About this book
Already in this list we have met H.G. Wellss Martian invaders with their huge heads and tentacles, Ray Bradburys Martians who can appear just like the family you left at home, Edgar Rice Burroughss six-limbed Tharks, the Sorns and Hross of C.S. Lewiss Out of the Silent Planet and many more.
Well, when visitors from Earth arrive on Mars in this short novel they discover all of these fictional Martians in place.At a time when Mars been presented in a range of colours (see The Mars Trilogy and White Mars above), Rainbow Mars is an affectionate tribute to the bustling, populated realm of science fiction history.The Mars of old, the Mars that inspired so much science fiction, isnt quite dead, and its fun to read a homage to it all.
