Final reviews of the soon to be republished Frontier Stories and A Visit to Mars have been done and are being sent for print proof this week! Release dates and prices are soon to be revealed, so stay tuned!

In the meantime, did you know that A Visit to Mars is verifiably one of the first print works to introduce the concept of night vision goggles, high capacity airplanes, and the MRI? Check out these great quotes about all of these current realities that were scarcely imagined in 1900 and 1902...

Night Vision

"'We also have other means of seeing at night...'

He was gone a moment and came back with a pair of queer-shaped spectacles, the glasses of which were very deep and cup shaped. He placed them over Van Garlsett’s eyes and fastened them by a narrow band that reached around his head. 'Now,' said the Martian, 'I will turn off the light again,' and he did so, but behold! his guest could see almost as well as before. It appeared as if it might be a bit cloudy, but that was the only difference."

High Capacity "Airships"

"They passed cities large and small; circling around them were flocks of airships...they passed many travelers on their way, men and women young and old. They saw some ships of such enormous size that thousands were traveling together in them."

MRI

"Inventions rapidly increased. We soon looked through the human body by the use of our instruments with as much ease as we look through transparent glass. By this we could detect at once all forms of disease."
