Reader reviews for A Martian Odyssey

From the publisher

""A Martian Odyssey"" is a science fiction novella written by Stanley G. Weinbaum, first published in 1934. The story follows the adventures of astronaut Dick Jarvis, who is part of the first expedition to Mars. When his ship crashes on the planet's surface, Jarvis sets out on foot to explore his surroundings. Along the way, he encounters a variety of strange and fascinating creatures, including a four-armed, bird-like creature named Tweel. As Jarvis and Tweel travel together, they encounter other creatures and face various challenges, including dangerous sandstorms and hostile alien beings. Throughout the story, Jarvis learns more about the planet and its inhabitants, and he begins to question his own assumptions about life and intelligence. ""A Martian Odyssey"" is considered a classic of early science fiction, and it has been praised for its imaginative world-building, vivid descriptions, and memorable characters.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. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
