This is vintage sci-fi, and a book I haven't read in many moons. It was always my favorite of the Mars series, although I have to say reading it as an adult is a different experience.

What is your teaser?

Yes it is! I have some favorites from childhood (like this one) that read just a tad bit different now, and I'm wondering if maybe I should just leave those memories alone ha ha. Something different though!
