The Old Man and the Martian Sea — Alastair Reynolds

Available in the collection, Beyond the Aquila Rift.

Another of Alastair’s Mars stories.   This one is set in Mars’ future after a few goes at terraforming have happened before getting things right.

But what happened to all that old terraforming equipment?

I really thought this was a wonderful story, a lost stowaway girl meets an old man who takes her to see a Martian sea.

Next up in Alastair’s timeline is Ascension Day.

Bye for now.
