Esta colección de relatos recoge la crónica de la colonización de Marte por parte de una humanidad que huye de un mundo al borde de la destrucción. Los colonos llevan consigo sus deseos más íntimos y el sueño de reproducir en el Planeta Rojo una civilización de perritos calientes, cómodos sofás y limonada en el porche al atardecer.

Mucho más que un escritor de ciencia-ficción, este volumen viene a situar a Ray Bradbury (1920-2012) como el escritor clásico cuya narrativa breve que fijó durante décadas gran parte de nuestro imaginario fantástico ha trascendido con más rotundidad hasta el siglo XIX. Desde sus cuentos más conocidos (los incluidos en Crónicas marcianas o El hombre ilustrado) a relatos menos conocidos o versiones no recopiladas, esta edición, que cuenta con nueva traducción de Ce Santiago y prologada por Laura Fernández, nos muestra de forma cronológica la evolución vital y literaria de un autor.

Set during a tense voyage from Earth to Mars, the narrative follows Halloway, a deeply anxious man whose terror of space threatens both his sanity and the mission itself.
