Sos from Mars

London, Hutchinson & Co. 1954 . First edition. Cloth. A scarce, first edition of the second novel is John Keir Cross's Mars sequence, with the original, unclipped dust wrapper. The first edition. With the original, unclipped dust wrapper. Dated using Jisc, from copies of the work held at the British Library. Written by Scottish editor and author John Keir Cross, who was known for his various radio and television programs, as well as for his science-fiction and fantasy novels, most of which are aimed at Young Adult readers. 'SOS From Mars' is the second in Cross's Mars Sequence, following on from 'The Angry Planet' (1945). Both novels surround expeditions undertaken to Mars, reading as a transcription "by Stephen MacFarlane". As with the previous work, this tale "concerns itself similarly with probabilities and not impossibilities", leaving the audience to question if it is indeed real or fiction. The novel presents life on Mars in the form of vegetables, which had survived a Manichaean Evolution into alternative races. (John Clute, 'The Encyclopedia of Science Fiction').With illustrated endpapers. Bound in the publisher's original cloth, with the original, unclipped dust wrapper. Externally, excellent, with a little bumping to the head and tail of the spine. The odd mark to cloth and light fading to the head and tail of the spine. Dust wrapper is sound, with rubbing and light marking. Edge wear and closed tears to the extremities of the wrap, with tape repair to the recto and verso. Internally, firmly bound with very bright and clean pages. Very Good Indeed . Ill.: None. Very Good Indeed/Good.
