  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.The Foxholes of Mars by Fritz LeiberSurvey Team by Philip K. DickWelcome Martians by Evan HunterGuest Expert by Alan K. LangMessage From Mars by Clifford D. SimakThe Visitor by Ray BradburyThe Blonde From Barsoom by Robert F.

  Lost Sci-Fi Books 226 thru 230 gathers an extraordinary range of vintage science-fiction—from cosmic dread to patriotic devotion, sly humor to tragic heroism. 
  In Conquest Over Time by Michael Shaara, Contact Man Pat Travis lands on the astrologer-ruled world of Mert during an eclipse that marks him as an omen of disaster. Trapped among the “unfortunates” condemned by their birth-charts, he must turn superstition into strategy before rival companies steal the contract he needs. 
  The Nameless City by H. P. Lovecraft pulls an explorer into a forgotten desert ruin older than humanity. Beneath the sands lies a presence waiting centuries in the dark. Some truths sleep lightly… and some awaken hungry. 
  Two Weeks in August by Frank M. Robinson begins as a harmless boast: Bill, too broke for vacation, claims he’s spending two weeks on Mars. But when office braggart McCleary returns with tickets, photos, souvenirs, and pink Martian sand, fantasy and reality collide in this clever Twilight-Zone-style tale. 
  In I Bring Fresh Flowers by Robert F. Young, Rosemary Brooks—patriot, idealist, astronette—becomes the first woman to orbit Earth. When tragedy strikes during re-entry, the world mourns… then watches the seasons themselves change. Rain softens, flowers bloom, sunlight turns golden. Rosemary becomes part of the earth, the sky, every dawn. 
  Savage Galahad by Bryce Walton tells of a massive Venusian swamp-lord who senses the terrified thoughts of a lost human woman. Awakened to beauty for the first time, he protects her from the horrors of his world—until a final battle with the monstrous Torrg seals their destinies. 
  Five worlds. Five destinies. One essential volume of classic sci-fi brilliance.
