missingvolume | #103 Old Mars by George R.R. Martin (Editor), Gardner R. Dozois (Editor)

A collection of stories based on the old ideas of Mars. The ERB's version of Mars and some of the stories hit the mark square on. In fact a few of them have people travel to Mars using ways that have a nod to John Carter. The collection had that pulpy feel to it and it was a lot of fun to read. Some great stories in here and some ok ones but not a single clunker in the collection at all. I won't be surprised if a story from the collection gets some critical nods but I doubt it will be one of my favorites. A good book to give to someone wishing for the books they don't write anymore.
