Title: The Full Story of the Firstborn Assault on Mars
Author: Stephen Baxter
Length: short story
First Publication: stephen-baxter.com, 2008
What the Story is About: The story is expanded from the account in Firstborn by Stephen Baxter and Arthur C. Clarke. An ancient entity from Mars heads to Earth. A taste:
“She was more like a slime mould, perhaps, than a human. So she was never alone in that she was intimately connected to the tremendous networked communities of single-celled creatures which drenched her Mars. Nevertheless she was a pole of consciousness arising from those communities, and fully self-aware.”
