Publisher's Synopsis
Across the Zodiac was published in 1880 and is widely believed to be the first so-called "sword and planet" novel. Even if that is not the case, it still has a couple of other firsts to its credit. It records the first use of the word "astronaut" and the first alien language in fiction. This reprint is the first in a series from dicegeeks.com. The Lore of Mars series hopes to bring readers classic science fiction about the red planet. www.dicegeeks.com
