title: Edison's Conquest of Mars: The Original 1898 Sequel to The War of the Worlds
author: Garrett P. Serviss
description: <div></div><div>"What a treat! Garrett P. Serviss' <I>Edison's Conquest of Mars</I> is a wonderful romp that should appeal to fans of Wells, fans of Mars, and fans of fast-paced action-adventure storytelling. Apogee Books has done a great service bringing this forgotten gem back into print&#8212;let us hope it's only the first of many science fiction rediscoveries to be reissued by the master chroniclers of the space age." &#160;&#8212;Robert J. Sawyer, Hugo Award-winning author, <I>Hominids</I></div>
