Depiction of Mars in Fictional Works, Part VII

This is the seventh part of a nine part series. In this series, I will discuss how Mars is depicted in various fictional works such as movies, books, and games.

In Part VII, I will discuss about a science fiction novel by Ray Bradbury. The Martian Chronicles is collection of stories that chronicles the colonization of Mars by humans and their conflicts with the native Martians. The novel consists of three parts. The first part details the attempt of humans to reach Mars, and the ways that the Martians try to keep them from returning. The second part details the colonization of Mars by humans and their contact with the few surviving Martians. And the final part details how the human settlers on Mars have become the new Martians.
