Redshifted: Martian Stories

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 Liberato details the exploits a Mars expedition with disastrous results.

Cadaver by Robina Williams shows how one “cadaver” can affect a whole world.

Make Carrots, Not War by Neil James Hudson lets us know that the god of war isn't as warlike as we thought.

I also chuckled silently to myself as I read For Sale: One Red Planet by Jeff Hewitt and MarsMail by Michael McGlade.

This anthology is a must read for anyone who likes science fiction short stories and I'll definitely be checking into the other titles by Third Flatiron Anthologies.
