Edison'S Conquest Of Mars - 9781547154685

In the aftermath of the Martian invasion described in H.G. Wells' War of the Worlds, the greatest minds of the Victorian Era-led by inventor Thomas A. Edison-mount a counterstrike on the Red Planet. Armed with disintegrator guns of Edison's invention, space suits, telephonic communication and electrically powered spacecraft, their mission is to insure that Mars never threatens Earth again! Written in 1898, Edison's Conquest of Mars was among the first stories to depict spacecraft, space suits, laser-like weapons, hand to hand battles with aliens, and other staples of 20th-century sci-fi.
