Mars and Martians and Nothing But Mars and Martians: Warriors, Wanderers, and Watchers: Martian Stories from the Golden Age

Mars has always been more than a planet.

It’s a mirror, a mystery, and a warning — imagined again and again by the greatest minds of classic science fiction.

Mars and Martians and Nothing But Mars and Martians gathers nineteen unforgettable short stories from the 1930s, 40s, 50s, and 60s — a golden era when writers didn’t just dream about space… they built entire civilizations in the red dust.

You’ll meet explorers who push too far, colonists who learn too late, and Martians who may not be what anyone expects. Some stories are thrilling. Some are ironic. Some are quietly haunting. All of them remind us that curiosity always comes with consequences.

Inside this collection you’ll find legendary authors such as Ray Bradbury, Frederik Pohl, Poul Anderson, Fredric Brown, Harry Harrison, Mack Reynolds, and more — each bringing their own vision of Mars: hopeful, hostile, mysterious, and occasionally very funny.
