Three classic science fiction adventure novels H. G. Wells brought
his immortal 'War of the Worlds' to a conclusion with the defeat of
the Martian invaders destroyed by the smallest of earth
creatures-the bacteria. The aliens may have failed to dominate the
earth, but they left it devastated. Serviss picked up the tale
where Wells left off and penned 'Edison's Invasion of Mars'-his
unauthorised sequel based on a simple principle-IT'S PAYBACK TIME
The men of Earth decide to take the battle to the Red Planet itself
in this thrilling space fantasy which will be essential reading for
anyone for whom the original was just not enough. In the second
novel, 'A Columbus of Space' the action turns to the planet Venus.
A reluctant crew rocket through space to a strange world complete
with Amazon women, apemen and giant man-eating spiders-all
essential ingredients for a vintage space romp. In 'The Moon
Metal', a unique and incredibly precious metal is being secretly
mined and released to an eager world market. But where is this mine
and why is it such a closely guarded secret? Perhaps its origin is
not of this world Those who enjoy science fantasy from the period
that brought forth the Edgar Rice Burroughs stories of
interplanetary adventure will find many enjoyable pages to turn in
this collection of vintage SF greats.
