Kaor, Paul!
I think you forgot Anderson's THE WAR OF TWO WORLDS, which I would put in your "Interplanetary" category. And I'm not sure if the space ship used by the alien "Sigman" in THE BYWORLDER was either STL or FTL.

Sean,
I forgot THE WAR OF TWO WORLDS and will now add it. Thus, three early novels feature versions of Mars.
Paul.
Kaor, Paul!
And I believe Anderson's THE WAR OF TWO WORLDS to be better than Wells' WAR OF THE WORLDS, simply as a story.
And to make it even more complicated, there's also Anderson's short story "The Case of the Martian Crown Jewels," an affectionate Holmesian pastiche featuring a non-human, Martian equivalent of Sherlock Holmes.
Both of these stories might have been written so closely together that the alien Martians in them strongly resemble each other. And written at a time when there was still SOME hope intelligent life existed there.
Ad astra! Sean
