Which reminds me (and you, I'm sure!) of the Martian hominids we see in IN THE COURTS OF THE CRIMSON KINGS. Hmmm, it does makes me wonder if Stirling had read this early novel of Anderson and was inspired by it (not necessarily with him having this Anderson work in mind as he was writing COURTS).<br /><br />And, of course, Poul Anderson wrote THE WAR OF TWO WORLDS before it was quite understood how difficult it would be for life to exist there now.<br /><br />SeanSean M.
