Yes, I saw it. Very nice. I'll be blogging about it in a few weeks.
Doesn't this tale (one of the creepiest Mars tales ever) seem like the granddaddy of "Alien," complete with alien mind-munching horror found in an ancient ruin?
Actually, I haven't read the story yet, but I love archaeology and ancient ruins.
