"Boje Weltraum-Abenteuer", a series of eight books from a publisher of youth books - true classics of youth literature in Germany, and German science fiction. Mark Brandis also is such a classic series, aiming at teenagers and younger adults. It is popular until today, although the series is from the late 70s and 80s.

German readers, heads up! the Mark Brandis books, all 30+, are in the process of getting republished since some time, the first half of the series is already available again! I have bought and read "Bordbuch Delta VII" some months ago - that was great fun and brought back many memories! they also have turned the books into radioplays of accustically absolutely outstanding quality - the scenery sounds like you used to know it from movies.

This is the series that turned me on to Mars as a kid:

I didn't really get into Burroughs until I was a teenager, and not the John Carter series until my twenties. When I read the part where Barsoomian women lay eggs I thought "How cool - the never lose their figures!"

But then I was married to a woman who had two kids the human way and didn't change a bit.
