I requested "The Martian Race" because I read "The Case For Mars" by Robert Zubrin, the nonfiction book outlining a cheaper, more seat-of-you-pants method to get to Mars that this book is based on. (Zubrin makes a brief appearance in the book)
This is a fast-paced story designed to showcase the science of human visitation and possible colonization of Mars. There is minimal character development and little time spent on description and prose beyond what is needed to drive the story forward. Still, it serves the purpose if your goal is to learn more about what it might take for man to visit the red planet. The in-depth exploration of the Martian surface, and subsurface, is enough in itself for anyone curious to get a better feel of what it might be like there.
