Mala Mukherjee’s Mars Underneath blends the worlds of science fiction and fantasy in an interesting way. After terraforming and colonizing Mars, humanity has reverted to a kingdom structure. They find themselves in a war with Mars’ original alien inhabitants. Erik and his girlfriend Volga strive to save some Martians from being enslaved by an evil king, only to be taken as slaves themselves. This is a story about what it means to be human on an alien world and I enjoyed the way Mukherjee blended different styles to tell it. Mars Underneath is great for any classic fantasy and science fiction lovers out there!
