The Martian Chronicles



This book is an interesting book, and it has some interesting morals and ideas in it. The book takes place over 27 years, and it is not connected, but short stories within the same alternate future.


The story starts in 1999, on earth, where a group of astronaughts are preparing to go to mars. They are quickly killed by the native martians, beings with golden skin and eyes. However, eventually, the humans accidentally mange to kill almost all the martians, and so the colonization of mars begins...


This book is very good, as it has some deep ideas in it, that you have to read between the lines to find out. I like it, and I would rate it 9/10.
