When Harry Bittering and his family, plus more than a thousand other people, travel to Mars, immediately Harry sees many changes in the people and things. The flowers grow differently and the cow is growing another horn. But the most strangest thing of all, people's skin is getting darker and their eyes and turning yellow. Harry builds a rocket to escape back to Earth when he hears the rockets on Earth were blown up because of the war. But Earth is swallowing Harry up. Why is everyone changing? Is it Mar's effect? Will Harry and his family escape back to Earth? So suspensful you will not want to stop reading until you have finished the short story by Ray Bradbury, the master of science fiction.
