It's only a week till the release of OLD MARS, the latest anthology from Gardner Dozois and Yours Truly, featuring fifteen brand new, original, never before published tales of the Red Planet of bygone years, the one with the canals and the dead sea bottoms and the lost cities and myriad marvelous Martians.

If you'd like a taste, Pat's Fantasy Hotlist has posted an excerpt from Allen Steele's story, "Martian Blood."  You can find it here:
