A Martian Odyssey (1949) is a science fiction classic by Stanley G. Weinbaum. The story is set in the early 21st century, nearly twenty years after the invention of atomic power and ten years after the first lunar landing. The four-man crew of the Ares has landed on Mars in the Mare Cimmerium. A week after the landing, Dick Jarvis, the ship's American chemist, sets out in an auxiliary rocket to photograph the landscape. Eight hundred miles out, the engine on Jarvis' rocket gives out, and he crash-lands into one of the Thyle regions. Rather than sit and wait for rescue, Jarvis decides to walk back north to the Ares. Just after crossing into the Mare Chronium, Jarvis comes across a Martian creature attacking a large birdlike one. He notices that the birdlike Martian is carrying a bag around its neck, and recognizing it as an intelligent being, saves it from the atrocity. The rescued creature refers to itself as Tweel. Tweel accompanies Jarvis on his trip back to the Ares… Artist Bio Author: Stanley G. Weinbaum (1902-1935) was an American science fiction writer. His career in science fiction was short but influential.
