Synopsis

"When we were in charge of Mars, it was a magnificent place, full of wonders: ancient ruined cities, world-girdling canals, alien races terrible or kind, and a hospitable second home for humanity. Then science got its hands on the planet and basically trashed the place. No canals, no cities, no wise ancients—heck, when science is done, there won’t be any life at all on the Red Planet. It’s an interplanetary tragedy."Science fiction isn't just one thing. The field is a cosmos of many mansions, with something to please almost everyone. Your guide to the many varieties of sf is Don Sakers: sf writer, retired Librarian, book reviewer for Analog Science Fiction and Fact magazine.Based on the first five years of his popular review column, this volume examines & explains dozens of types of science fiction along with hundreds of reviews.Whether you're exploring the state of the field or looking for just the right sf book for you, A Cosmos of Many Mansions is the guidebook you need. Readers who enjoyed Jo Walton's What Makes This Book So Great? will surely find much to like.
