**New! A Wizard of Mars digital wallpaper series**

To celebrate the release of A Wizard of Mars, we've rolled out a few wallpapers showing the background locations of scenes in the book. All these wallpapers have been designed using actual Martian laser altimetry and radar terrain data from NASA's Mars Global Surveyor probe. By plugging this data into the fabulous Terragen scenery-generation software, DD was able to use these real-world landscapes of Mars to scout locations for the book's events. Now you too can see what Kit, Nita and the other characters in A Wizard of Mars see as they stand on the surface of the Red Planet!

(For those of you who've visited this page previously and have noticed that the "Aram Chaos / Red Rede" wallpaper is missing: a better one will be posted at a later date.)
