This book was released on 2016-09-28 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Edison's Conquest of Mars is an 1898 science fiction novel by American astronomer and writer Garrett P. Serviss. It was written as a sequel to Fighters from Mars, an unauthorized and heavily altered version of H. G. Wells's The War of the Worlds. It has a place in the history of science fiction for its early employment of themes and motifs that later became staples of the genre. The book features Thomas Edison as the primary character, though neither Edison nor H. G. Wells were involved in its creation. Set after the devastating Martian attack in the previous story, the novel depicts Edison leading a group of scientists to develop ships and weapons, including a disintegration ray, for the defence of Earth. Edison and company fight the aliens in space and on Mars, eventually causing a flood that defeats the enemy and forces an end to hostilities. Serviss wrote himself into the story as a professor whom Edison consults; also appearing are scientists such as Edward Emerson Barnard, Lord Kelvin, Wilhelm Rontgen, and Silvanus P. Thompson, and heads of state such as Queen Victoria, U.S. President William McKinley, Kaiser Wilhelm II, and Emperor Mutsuhito."

Book excerpt: The book is set following the abortive Martian attack depicted in Fighters from Mars, much more devastating and global than in H. G. Wells' The War of the Worlds, though in both works the onslaught is thwarted when the aliens die from bacterial illness. Determining that the Martians will inevitably return, Earth's leaders, including U.S. President William McKinley, Queen Victoria, Kaiser Wilhelm II, and Emperor Mutsuhito, unite the world against the common threat and plan an attack on Mars. American inventor Thomas Edison leads a group of scientists studying derelict Martian equipment; they are able to develop an anti-gravity device powered by electric repulsion as well as a disintegration ray.Using this new technology, the allies construct an armada of space ships for the attack. Edison takes some ships to the Moon on a test run; using the first known fictional depiction of space suits. There the explorers uncover evidence of an extinct civilization of giants. The armada heads on, discovering a solid gold asteroid being mined by the Martians. The humans fight two space battles against the Martians, suffering heavy casualties but ultimately winning thanks to the superiority of Edison's ray gun compared to the Martians' electric weapons. The humans take a captive, from whom they learn the Martian language.

This book was released on 2016-05-21 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume features two novels by Garret Serviss, one of the most popular early science fiction writers. Serviss was an American astronomer, popularizer of astronomy, and early science fiction writer, who also wrote several non fiction books on astronomy. His novels were widely read, most published serially in magazines. The first novel in this volume, Edison's Conquest of Mars, is his most popular novel. This early space opera was written as a sequel to Fighters from Mars, an unauthorized and heavily altered version of H. G. Wells's The War of the Worlds, and was among the first novel to use several themes and motifs that later became signature of the genre. The main character is Thomas Alva Edison. A COLUMBUS OF SPACE is about a trip to Venus (written before Edgar Rice Burroughs and Otis Adebert Kline Venus series), on a craft that can travel a tremendous speed, powered by the "power of the atom". In Venus, the travelers find different societies depending on if you live on the sun side or the no-sun side of the planet ... It is written in Jules Verne's style, and as an homage to Verne.
