Summary "Dateline: Mars" by Richard Wilson is a science fiction novel likely written in the early to mid-20th century. The story revolves around the political complexities and social dynamics on Mars, particularly focusing on the perspectives of its inhabitants following a period of colonization and exploitation by Earth. It explores themes of political intrigue, betrayal, and the quest for true democracy on a planet marked by historical distrust against its Earth counterparts. The narrative follows Scott Warren, a journalist for Galactic News, as he grapples with the disparity between the official story of harmonious relations between Earth people and Martians, and the uncomfortable truth about the Martian political landscape. During a celebration known as Landing Day, Scott learns of a plot involving Rastol, a former official of the previous Martian regime, who has been offered a high-ranking government position. Rastol's own son, Acton, believed dead, confronts him at a secret meeting, revealing that he survived and gives a chilling account of the atrocities committed under the Rockhead regime. Scott is left torn, knowing he has a monumental story that remains unwritten, as the political situation on Mars teeters between a facade of peace and the underlying tensions of its troubled past.
