"A stunning survey of the latest evidence for intelligent life on Mars. Mac Tonnies brings a thoughtful, balanced and highly accessible approach to one of the most fascinating enigmas of our time."
--Herbie Brennan, author of Martian Genesis and The Atlantis Enigma
"Tonnies drops all predetermined opinions about Mars, and asks us to do the same."
--Greg Bishop, author of Project Beta
"I highly recommend the book for anyone interested in the search for extra-terrestrial artifacts, and the political intrigues that invariably accompany it."
--David Jinks, author of The Monkey and the Tetrahredron
"Mac Tonnies goes where NASA fears to tread and he goes first class."

Sure takes you back! I remember all those fifties comix and movies (like "The Angry Red Planet") where the astronauts basically sport mountain-climbing garb and oxygen masks. Even Robert Heinlein's sf-for-teens effort, Lodestar, Rocket Ship to Mars bought into the idea that the Martian atmosphere was about like Earth's at the top of Mt. Everest, so explorers of Mars could get away with just warm clothing and oxygen instead of space suits. (BTW, I love that encampment in front of the Face with its tent flying a little pennant-style flag -- not interestingly, the Stars and Stripes.) Not until probes actually began visiting the red planet was its atmostphere actually measured to average about 1/100 the pressure of Earth's at sea level.
Bob Harrison's Cydonia Web site is also a great discovery for me -- one I feel I should have discovered on my own a lot sooner! Thanx, Mac.
Cydonia Quest has always been one of my favorites. There's lots of interesting stuff there.
Looks like the prototype of "Faces on Mars" to me.
What a great find! I'm amazed that this didn't surface sooner. Do check out the links in it -- the "potato-like" creatures look very much like Weebles ("They wobble but they don't fall down"), and the arachnoidal ships are very like the Babylon 5 race The Shadows used.
This is simply more evidence that there is some sort of 'planetary telepathy' between our worlds.
Sauceruney--
If so, that's more exciting than the detection of life.
