For years and years my favorite book, since supplanted by many others but I still cherish this magical book. ( ![]() Told in a series of short stories that add up to the invasion of Mars by the people of Earth. Facing the threat of war on Earth, several expeditions arrive to determine if Mars is inhabitable, if the Martians will coexist with people from Earth. The Martians don't want to lose their civilization to the domineering humans who come by the thousands. I can count on one hand the number of sci-fi novels I've read, it's just not my thing, but this is some of Bradbury's finest writing. Great start, even gave me some nightmares, but didn’t like the 2nd half so much. A compelling and exhilarating read for a 12 year old, as all Bradbury's books were. Wonderful time and time again. This has always been one of my favorite books. Stories linked together but still wonderful tales in their own right.

Leaving behind a world on the brink of destruction, man came to the red planet and found the Martians waiting, dreamlike. Seeking the promise of a new beginning, man brought with him his oldest fears and his deepest desires. Man conquered Mars--and in that instant, Mars conquered him. The strange new world with its ancient, dying race and vast, red-gold deserts cast a spell on him, settled into his dreams, and changed him forever. No library descriptions found.
