Accompanied by a Martian he rescued, Jarvis confronts a series of perilous challenges that test his resilience and ingenuity. The story explores themes of survival, companionship, and the unknown, as Jarvis navigates the harsh Martian terrain and the dangers that lie ahead.
This is a classic science fiction novella by Stanley G. Weinbaum that was originally published in Wonder Stories in 1934. It is only Weinbaum's second published story and is a sequel to 'A Martian Odyssey'. The tale follows Dick Jarvis and his mission to retrieve the film he took one week earlier that was lost when his auxillery rocket crashed. Along with his colleague 'Frenchy' the pair visit the city of the cart creatures and the site of the pyramid building creature before going in search of Tweel, the birdlike Martian he met in 'A Martian Odyssey'.
