‘The Last Martian’ by Rachel Churcher is an homage to Ray Bradbury’s ''The Martian Chronicles'' – one of the author’s favourite books. There are several direct references: the Blue Sail Automotive Company; the comment about cars, suitcases, and hot dogs; the clapboard houses and 1950s fashions; and the physical form of the last Martian. “The opportunity to throw a presence as disruptive as Iris Wildthyme into Bradbury’s small-town version of Mars was too good an opportunity to turn down”, Rachel explained. “The story was a lot of fun to write, and I like to think that Iris leaves Mars a little better, and a little more adventurous, than it was before.” | ‘The Last Martian’ by [[doctorwho:Rachel_Churcher|Rachel Churcher]] is an homage to Ray Bradbury’s ''The Martian Chronicles'' – one of the author’s favourite books.
