The Martian Chronicles BCE

By: Ray Bradbury

This is the First Doubleday BCE (Book Club Edition), 1958, of The Martian Chronicles which was reprinted three more times after the 1958. It contains the original fifteen stories and eleven bridges which became the Bantam paper copy. Included stories include: Rocket Summer, YLLA, The Summer Night, The Earth Men, The Taxpayer, The Third Expedition, --And The Moon Was Still As Night, The Settlers, The Green Morning, The Locusts, The Night Meeting, The Shore, Interim, The Musicians, Way In The Middle Of THe Air, The Naming of Names, Usher, The Old Ones, The Martian, The Luggage Store, The Off Season, The Watchers, The Silent Towns, The Long Years, There Will Come Soft Rains, The Million Year Picnic. This chronicles a brilliant account of human settlement of Mars from 1999-2026. True vintage Bradbury, a haunting blend of terror and wonder, the familiar and the fantastic, set against the incredible beauty of a fabulous new world. Book Club Editions was where SciFi writers got their start before being tracked to the main divisions of publishing houses. Bradbury fought his way out of the pulp Doubleday Science Fiction Colophon. Bradbury went on to leave Doubleday behind for greener pastures and better book deals.
