Publisher's Synopsis
A Martian Odyssey is a science fiction novel written by Stanley G. Weinbaum. The story is set on the planet Mars and follows the adventures of astronaut Dick Jarvis and his crew as they explore the planet. The crew encounters strange and exotic creatures, including a giant amoeba, a tentacled plant, and a bird-like creature that can communicate with humans. Along the way, Jarvis meets and befriends a Martian named Tweel, who helps him navigate the planet's treacherous terrain and teaches him about the Martian way of life. As they journey deeper into the unknown, the crew faces a series of challenges and obstacles that test their courage and ingenuity. A Martian Odyssey is a thrilling and imaginative tale of exploration and discovery that will captivate readers of all ages.The other three stared at him sympathetically--Putz, the engineer, Leroy, the biologist, and Harrison, the astronomer and captain of the expedition. Dick Jarvis was chemist of the famous crew, the Ares expedition, first human beings to set foot on the mysterious neighbor of the earth, the planet Mars. This, of course, was in the old days, less than twenty years after the mad American Doheny perfected the atomic blast at the cost of his life, and only a decade after the equally mad Cardoza rode on it to the moon.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
