    Mars is from Martian is a story of conflict between humans terraforming Mars and a race of Martians who have been genetically engineered to live in the Martian atmosphere. After a century or so of terraforming Mars, many bases and settlements have been set up. As an interim process to assist in terraforming animals and plants that can live on Mars have been created. These are hoped to assist with creating food and the development of an atmosphere. An eccentric bio-geneticist, Neals Wells, creates intelligent beings adapted to the Martian atmosphere. Creating intelligent life is illegal, so he flees with his creation into the Valles Marinaras, an immense Martian canyon where it has been found not practical to set up settlements. His creation propagates and, after a few centuries, develops into a small tribe. 
    Inevitably, the Martians come in contact with the humans who are terraforming the planet. This eventually leads to raids and war between the two species. Both species are similar but fighting for their survival. There can only be one winner in this contest, or can there? 
    This is the first part of the series' Mars is for Martians'. It spans several centuries of terraforming and conflicts between the human settlers and the Martians.

    A fascinating collection of rarely seen journalism and other writings by Ian Fleming, author of the James Bond series. 
    Ian Fleming was best known for bringing to life the legendary character of James Bond, one of the most beloved and enduring icons of our time, but he was perhaps even more interesting than his creation. His career in Naval Intelligence and extensive travels around the world gave Fleming a keen eye and the authority to write on a wide range of topics beyond Bond’s adventures. 
    This collection contains a selection of journalism and other writings by Fleming, covering his wartime experiences, reflections on crime and espionage, and the process of writing his novels, among other topics. Listeners will feel like they are right beside Fleming, immersed in his world as he works to meet the deadline for his next Bond novel, or participates in a mortifying golf tournament, or befriends an octopus in his beloved Jamaica. This audiobook gives dimension to the man behind the myth, bringing life to his words and providing a unique glimpse into Fleming’s world.
