New YA anthology Life on Mars: Tales from the New Frontier

Life on Mars: Tales from the New Frontier (Viking, April 2011), a new original Young Adult science fiction anthology edited by Jonathan Strahan, is now available for purchase at Amazon in traditional hardcover format or Kindle digital edition. Here’s the product description:

Mars! The Red Planet! For generations, people have wondered what it would be like to travel to and live there. That curiosity has inspired some of the most durable science fiction, including Ray Bradbury's The Martian Chronicles and the work of Isaac Asimov. Now the award-winning anthologist Jonathan Strahan has brought together thirteen original stories to explore the possibilities. After reading Life on Mars, readers will never look at the fourth planet from the sun the same way again.

And, here’s the table of contents:

• “Attlee and the Long Walk" by Kage Baker

• “The Old Man and the Martian Sea” by Alastair Reynolds

• “Wahala” by Nnedi Okorafor
