Silly pulp fiction. Originally in Startling Stories in 1941, reprinted as a standalone paperback in England in 1951. The hero, Dillon Stover (all the names are as clumsy as this), with his "tawny-curled head" has come to Mars to continue his grandfather's work on a condenser ray to bring rain back to the red planet. Ah, forget that. Fights, murders, a lot of running around, explosions, crashes. This is about as SFnal as the Saturday morning serials were. The paperback cover 's only connection to the story is the presence of squid-like Martians. My favorite part was the list of other titles in the series:

- Tharkol, Lord of the Unknown
- The Whispering Gorilla
- The Beasts from Beyond
- The Monsters of Juntonheim
- Master-Mind Menace
- The Metal Monster
- When the Earth Died
- Shadow over Mars (
