  • Marte, un mondo perduto (Rainbow Mars) è una raccolta di racconti fantascientifici pubblicata nel 1999 dallo scrittore statunitense Larry Niven. Il volume contiene sei storie con protagonista Hanville Svetz, cinque precedentemente pubblicate e la più lunga, Marte, un mondo perduto, scritta appositamente per la raccolta. L'ambientazione delle storie di Svetz è la Terra in un lontano futuro. Il leader ereditario della Terra, noto come Segretario generale, è un imbecille innato. Per mantenere l'interesse del Segretario, diverse fazioni della capitale usano la loro scienza avanzata per divertirlo. La sezione di Svetz utilizza il viaggio nel tempo nel tentativo di riportare indietro animali estinti da tempo dal passato della Terra. All'insaputa di Svetz e della sua squadra, stanno effettivamente viaggiando indietro nel passato immaginario e tornando con creature mitiche. (it)
