A Martian Odyssey and Other Works by Stanley G. Weinbaum

by Stanley G. Weinbaum

Overview

This Halcyon Classics ebook contains nine short stories by early science fiction writer Stanley Weinbaum, including his highly acclaimed and influential A MARTIAN ODYSSEY. In A MARTIAN ODYSSEY, Weinbaum created the sympathetic alien, one who is able to think and reason in a decidedly non-human way. Previously, aliens tended to be two-dimensional plot devices or villains, not characters in their own right.

A MARTIAN ODYSSEY was voted the second best science fiction short story in 1970, coming in behind Isaac Asimov's NIGHTFALL.

This collection includes an active table of contents for easy navigation.
