Default Mars Fiction

With a new rover landing on Mars I thought I'd post my favourite peice of Martian fiction.

Omniligual a short story by H. Beam Piper.

Published in 1957 it's a bit dated scientifically and technically, but still a good read.

Strong female characters are quiet common in his stories. This ones set in about 52AE (Atomic Era about 1997). For a while after reading this book I found it hard to resist Martini's at 17:00hours!

Any other good martian books?
