As of October 3, 2008, Hensleigh is developing the series Red Mars, which is based on the novel of the same name for AMC.
The phrase is also introduced or explained by Japanese or Japanese-American characters in books such as the Mars trilogy by Kim Stanley Robinson, James Clavell's Shōgun and David Guterson's Snow Falling on Cedars.
These books, especially Pacific Edge, can be seen as forerunners to Robinson's Mars trilogy.
