The Curiosity Rover has successfully landed on Mars. It's mission is to find sings of ancient prehistoric life on the planet. Here are a few books in which Mars has life.
by Stirling, S. M.
In the parallel world aliens terraformed Mars (and Venus) two hundred million years
ago, seeding them with life-forms from Earth. By the year 2000, America, Russia, and the other
great powers of Earth are all contending for influence and power amid
the newly-discovered inhabitants of our sister planets. On Mars, early hominids evolved civilization
earlier than their earthly cousins, driven by the needs of a harsh world
growing still harsher as the initial terraforming runs down. Now, in a new stand-alone adventure set in
this world's 2000 AD, Jeremy Wainman is an archaeologist who has
achieved a lifelong dream; to travel to Mars and explore the dead cities
of the Deep Beyond, searching for the secrets of the Kings Beneath the
Mountain and the fallen empire they ruled.
The first three John Carter of Mars books in a
100th anniversary edition. Ever since A Princess of Mars was published
in 1912, readers of all ages have read and loved Edgar Rice Burroughs'
Barsoom series. Still fun even after 100 years.
First the Mars probe picked up an anomaly. Then NASA saw some strange
activity, and many stargazers noticed meteorites rocketing towards
earth. A cylinder surreptitiously landed in Wisconsin, then another, and
another. The War of the Worlds had
begun. Niles follows in the great tradition
of Wells' original masterpiece. As tripods leave a swath
of destruction across the Americas, Washington groups some of its great
minds to solve the problem as the Pentagon throws at the invaders the
latest hardware the military has to offer. At stake is the survival of
the human race and the dominion of planet earth. A
Clancy like
techno-thriller.
What if Wells witnessed something that spurred him to write The War of
the Worlds not as entertainment but as a warning to the complacent
people of Earth? International bestselling author Kevin J. Anderson,
writing here as Gabriel Mesta, explores that tantalizing theory in this
unique, thrilling novel that expertly evokes the Victorian era. From
drafty London flats to the steamy Sahara, to the surface of the moon and
beyond, The Martian War takes the reader on an exhilarating journey
with Wells and his companions -- and is pure delight from start to
finish.
Henry Steegman is hardly "Mr. Personality" aboard the Mars-bound
Algonquin 9. Yet it is he who bungles upon the spectacular Macy's-like
city beneath the Red Planet's crust. For better or worse, the name
Steegman will be immortalized by a discovery that will transform
millions of lives. A collection of connected stories which investigate
the impact the discovery of life on Mars has on the everyday life of
humans.
