TWO MASTERS OF HUMOROUS SCIENCE FICTION TOGETHER!
GREMLINS TAKE TO SPACE!
These little dudes may be the stuff of legend, but they're just as real
as you and me. Far from the mythical, magical creatures of rumor, they
are actually tiny aliens, marooned for centuries on this miserable
mudball known as Earth. And they want just one thing: Off!
Now, human technology may finally make a reality of their dream to leave
this pathetic planet behind. NASA has a new rocket and it's Mars-bound.
All the gremlins need do is hijack it and set a course for their
homeworld of Gremla.
The only thing lacking is a hapless human accomplice . . .
HOME IS JUST ONE CLEVER TRICK AWAY!
About The Best of Bova Volume III:
"Ben Bova is a living legend. . . .The hallmarks of Bova's fiction . . .
are believable human characters and complete rationality. He adheres to
the philosophy articulated by John W. Campbell, Jr. . . . that the best
science fiction involves not just science and technology, but their
impact on people. . . . [I]f you care about the history of science
fiction, or if you just want to read some good stories, you'll be happy
with this one."--Analog

well."--SFX
About Mars, Inc., by Ben Bova
". . .perfectly enjoyable as an SF book (could Bova write anything that
wasn't enjoyable?), Mars, Inc. has that torn-from-the-headline vibe
that's obviously intended for a larger audience. . . . the bottom line?
Mars, Inc. has inspiration, excitement, thrills, romance, a dash of
satire--and is a good, fun read . . . ."--Analog
"The Hugo winner returns to his most popular subject: the quest for
Mars."--Publishers Weekly
". . . escapist fantasy for rocket scientists and space engineers, those
dreaming of these kinds of missions. Yet Bova's story is rigorously
realistic. . . . a fun read showing you do not need car chases or
shootouts to deliver a fast-paced and exciting story."--Daily News of
Galveston County

told by a masterful science fiction writer."--Milwaukee Journal
