Cronache marziane (1950) è il resoconto della conquista e della colonizzazione di Marte tra il 1999 e il 2026: anno in cui lo scoppio di una guerra atomica richiama i terrestri sul proprio pianeta. Marte, pianeta antichissimo, resta nuovamente abbandonato. Sui suoi immensi mari di sabbia privi di vita passano i grandi velieri degli ultimi marziani, creature simili a fantasmi, ombre e larve di una civiltà che i terrestri, esseri ingombranti venuti da un mondo sordo e materialista, non hanno saputo vedere né comprendere.
