[quote=Jeffrey A. Ehrnman]I have read the trilogy and "The Martians" and found I am always trying to find a map or illustration... So I compiled a list. Here goes...
RED MARS Frontispiece, Mars Map, 2 pages Page 110 The Martian Calendar Year 1, (2027 AD) Pages 196,197,198 Greimas Schematic Rectangle
GREEN MARS Frontispiece, Mars Map, 2 pages Page 30 Map: Mars Polar Region Page 130 Map: Burroughs C. 2100 AD Page 500 Map: Burroughs Region Page 537 Diagram: Temperature Comparisons
BLUE MARS Frontispiece, Mars Map, 2 pages Sub-Frontispiece,The Martian Calendar Year 1, (2027 AD) Page 6 Map: Pavonis Mons Caldera (Sheffield) Page 208 Map: Tempe Terra (Kasei Fjord) Page 308 Map: North Sea Polar Projection (North Pole) Page 334 Map: Chryse Gulf (Da Vinci, Kasei Fjord, Sinai Peninsula) Page 450 Map: The Grand Canal (Isidus Bay, Hellas Sea, Odessa) Page 549 Map: Olympus Mons Caldera
The Martians Frontispiece, Mars Map, 2 pages (From BLUE MARS) [/quote]
Not knowing what the above may portend I humbly abstain. First I am not a writer I am a muse. That is I freely give great ideas to writers for what it's worth. For example, RAH wrote the "Puppet masters" wonderful science fiction satire. Just imagine though if the slugs returned with a proposal that would allow humans to voluntarily accept symbionts for the benefits accrued from suddenly acquiring a super intellect and body control possible only with 4 pounds of additional functioning grey matter. If the slugs agreed to a partnership rather than total control wouldn't some adventuresome people try it? Think of the possibilities as well as the risks. This is just one example of the myriad ideas I have to offer. I always wanted to try expanding on some of Heinleins stories. Or write an ode titled "TANSTAAFL". Catchy right? In the proper hands the commercial possibilities of continuing to right tales in the universe of Oscar Gorden or Lazarus Long. Of course my lockerful of original concept material is equally bountiful. I hope this note may find it's way to an interested or even an interesting writer. Your servant sir.
Hi there Kim from a big fan. Here's some ideas for a future novel, it's a story I wrote, mostly unknown, a successful anarcha-feminist revolution set in the near future amid climate chaos and the collapse of capitalism.. also funny, tragic.... :idea: :idea: You can read it online or download at the above site. Great to see you still going strong, we're almost the same age! all the best... salud... mike gilliland
Just started to read Forty signs of rain. On page 3, third line one calorie will raise the temp of one kilogram of water should read one GRAM. This is the type of mistakes that are being made at NASA where they can loose space craft on Mars. Stick to one system. One calorie=4.185 joules.

This article in the BBC news
This article in the BBC news entitled "Applicants wanted for a one way ticket to Mars" reads almost like the first chapter of Red Mars.
