About This Book

Late-night patrons gather to watch the first live transmission from Mars when an enigmatic, world-weary newcomer challenges scientific consensus, claiming the planet is a level, marshy world full of fish, swarming gnats, and vast numbers of frog-like beings with startling abilities; his blunt, anecdotal account provokes debate among skeptical reporters and a science editor, setting a contrast between lived observation and laboratory evidence just as the long-awaited Martian broadcast begins and the expedition itself begins to report in.
