I stumbled upon this anthology via an open call for writers on the Absolute Write forums. regrettably the story I submitted was not accepted but the fourteen authors selected are very good.Each of the stories take place on Mars and vary in tone from criminal mystery to scientific investigation and each is engaging in its own rights. The stories are short each perfect for a 30 minute or so bite of the 'Red planet'. I was especially fond of For Sale: One Red Planet which posits the question; If yo...
I received this copy from First Reads and Third Flatiron Anthologies for an honest review.I'll be the first to admit that I am a sucker for a good science fiction short story. This anthology treated me to a baker's dozen of well written stories, each with its own creative take on the red planet. While I enjoyed each story in this collection, here are a few of my favorites.The Canary and the Roach by Ian Rose tells the tale of a Martian mining accident. Colorblind on the Red Planet by Vince Liber...
I won this book on one of Goodreads drawings for new books. Juliana Rew sent a copy directly to me. It was a very good book. Lots of short stories about Mars, the planet you think you know. Many of the stories star out with a very familiar theme of the way we look at Mars today, then have a twist at the end that you would never see coming. I found myself wanting to go on to the next story every time I finished one because they were so interesting in the way they were thought out.
Redshifted is an anthology of short stories on the theme of Mars. I thought it worked really well as a collection as every story is a little bit different. I haven’t read many stories specifically about Mars before and these did capture my imagination – and picture Mars in quite different ways! There are tales of first explorations of Mars, of setting up colonies, and of futuristic colonies surviving on or exploiting the red planet. The stories that I enjoyed the most were:-The Journal Of Miss E...
Definitely a fun read that has elements of both nostalgic and modern storytelling, "Redshifted" has a little bit of everything for lovers of science fiction. While I enjoyed all of the stories, without a doubt my favorites were the first two, "Eurydice in Capricorn" and "Make Carrots, Not War." In all works like this, there is usually a story or two that feels inferior or out of place, but for me this book is one of the rare exceptions to that, and I doubt anyone could read this cover to cover w...
As with the majority of anthologies, this is a mixed bag of stories linked by an overriding theme, in this case Mars. The theme is dealt with in a fairly traditional manner by the majority of stories, although some do veer off into different interpretations - one of them so far off that, in my opinion, it misses the mark entirely and does not sit well with the other stories in the book. However, that one weak link aside, the stories are well written and the book is an easy and enjoyable read.The...
Really great variety of Mars themed stories, and not always in the way you’d expect.
Eurydice in Capricorn by Neil James Hudson Hope can be painful, and we poor humans are superstitious creatures who will cling to anything to try and impose order on a chaotic world. Make Carrots, Not War by Maureen Bowden The trials and tribulations of the god of war, Mars, Himself. Not surprisingly, he has a little trouble keeping up with the humans.Colorblind on the Red Planet by Vince Liberato Things can go to crazytown pretty quick when you have to make choices of life and death, especially
