Some of the pieces in the book follow the affairs of the First Hundred settlers and other key characters from the trilogy, providing new perspectives and plotlines. Maya, Michel, and Coyote feature in several of these, Michel being the focus of the long novella that leads off the collection. There are also a suite of stories concerning the Martian romance between Eileen Monday and Roger Clayborne. A few tales are concerned with the Little Men and the Big Man of Mars who had been introduced in Green Mars.
But none of these threads is segregated from the others. They are all woven together, with no obvious organizing principle to govern the thirty pieces in the volume. There is a recurring theme of sport, including mountain climbing, baseball, and surfing. As the book progresses, some of the shorter pieces and especially the poetry collapse into Robinson's own voice and his situation as a writer in Davis, California at the turn of the millennium.
The Martians is not rigorously chronological, although it starts with the Antarctic experiment before the first colonizing mission of Red Mars, and later pieces do move into future history beyond what is covered in Green Mars. There are a few points of violated continuity, suggesting that Robinson was exploring alternative possibilities in his future history. Some of the items may have been recovered piecemeal from drafts of the novels, and two were actually published separately in magazines during the 1980s before the trilogy.
I enjoyed the book a great deal, although I am sure I would have gotten more out of it if I had read it more closely on the heels of the larger Robinson Mars work. Although it could stand on its own structurally (or anti-structurally), I would not recommend it as an introduction to the larger series, because quite a few of the stories derive their power from the characters and plots already built in the novels.… (mere)
