This work dives into the intriguing question of whether Mars is inhabited, exploring the planet's surface markings and the potential for intelligence existing on this neighboring world. Morse draws on both his own observations as well as historical findings, making a case for the rationality of the idea of Martian life through comparison with terrestrial environments. "The opening of the book sets the stage for a deep exploration of Mars by outlining the author's motivations and methods." Morse expresses his fascination with the ongoing debates about Mars and reflects on the ways this neighboring planet resembles Earth. He outlines his observations made through telescopes, particularly at the Lowell Observatory, and emphasizes the need for a multidisciplinary approach to understanding the potential for life on Mars. By combining insights from astronomy, physical geography, and a bit of imagination, Morse challenges readers to reconsider preconceived notions about the planet's suitability for life and the significance of its markings.
