Books That Take Place on Mars

Mars has been used by novelists. While inspired by scientific discovery, books about Mars have also demonstrated the themes of social and political discourse of the times in which they were written. No other heavenly body has captured the world's imagination like the Red Planet. Stories use Mars to explore our fear of invasion, but also the adventure of exploration. Here's a (condensed) timeline of Mars in fiction.
