Sandwiched between Arnould Galopin's Doctor Omega (1906) and Edgar
Rice Burroughs' A Princess of Mars (1912), Gustave Le Rouge's
masterpiece, Le Prisonnier de la Plante Mars (1908) and its sequel,
La Guerre des Vampires (1909), are a Martian Odyssey in which young
engineer Robert Darvel is dispatched to Mars ny the psychic powers
of Hindu Brahmins. On the Red Planet, Darvel runs afoul of hostile,
bat-winged, blood-sucking natives, a once-powerful civilization now
ruled by the Great Brain. The entity eventually sends Darvel back
to Earth, unfortunately with some of the vampires. The second
volume deals with the war of the vampires back on Earth. Planetary
romance blends here with "cosmic horror" as the characters switch
from swashbuckling he-men to helpless bundles of gibbering terror.
