摘要

In Mars in the Movies: A History, former NASA employee and magazine editor Thomas Kent Miller sifts through the celluloid output, closely examines 98 films, television movies and direct-to-video titles, and in the process, pens the ultimate, 292-page love letter to an often-overlooked sci-fi sub-genre.
