First, by John Rogers
More from the Wired Science Fiction Issue. First is a straight-up exploration story, well written with a fine ending. The protagonist is a Mars explorer looking for the remains of the First Martian. The author manages to personalize him in a very short stretch. Recommended. 3 stars.
