In effect Professor Newland declared that the curious astronomical phenomena of the previous November--the new "stars" observed, the two meteors that had fallen with their red and green light-fire--were all evidence of the existence of intelligent life on the planet Mercury.

Fun

(4 Sterne)

3 1/2 stars but I’ve bumped it up to 4 stars as I was captivated by the flying girls of Mercury, and intrigued by the social commentary of the story. Very few classic science fiction authors included women in their stories, and although the men in this book were the supposed heroes, I thought the girls stole the show. Aside from that the writing was fairly basic, and the storyline of battling overwhelming alien foes, fun but well used.

Bravo from Borneo

A solid space opera novel of its time...replete with baddies and frail love interests. Chapeau to the narrator also and his sterling effort to provide voices to the characters. The author creates a series of perilous challenges made all the more interesting by their setting. Good stuff!!

A great book, well written, well read. Provides adventure and raises some questions. I also appreciate that it does not deny the existence of our creator. A refreshing sci-fi.

Eh. Unique but long and dry at times.
