This Halcyon Classics ebook contains nine works by early science fiction writer Stanley Weinbaum (1902-1935), including his highly acclaimed and influential A MARTIAN ODYSSEY.

Previously, aliens tended to be two-dimensional plot devices or villains, not characters in their own right.A MARTIAN ODYSSEY was voted the second best science fiction short story in 1970, coming in behind Isaac Asimov's NIGHTFALL.This collection is DRM free and includes an active table of contents.This unexpurgated edition contains the complete text with errors and omissions corrected.

Toward the end of the Twentieth Century—so say historians of the age of the Second Enlightenment—civilization died in a blaze of atomic and bacterial warfare. Barbarism followed the holocaust, the Dark Centuries during which humanity rested and prepared for a charge to new heights of development. Amid the ruins of one civilization, another and greater slowly grew.  Old records were rediscovered, new knowledge was added to that of the Ancients. Then came the discovery of immortality, and Joaquin Smith and his especially beautiful sister, Margaret, began their search for power—and the story of the Black Flame begins.  Black Margot, they called her, this most beautiful woman of the Immortals, “a black flame blowing cold across the world.” The Black Flame, loved by men, hated by women—vibrantly alive, yet bored with living—restless as though demon-driven—who did not age, who remains untouched by the passing of time. In Margot of Urbs, Stanley G. Weinbaum has created one of the most fascinating characters in science fiction.   There are others—good, honest Hull Tarvish of the “mountainies”—old Einar, who rediscovers atomic energy—Tim Connor, who awakens from a thousand year sleep, a victim of enforced electrolepsis, a man from the forgotten past—Evanie Sair, the Sorceress—Joaquin Smith, the Master—Martin Sair, the giver of life—Jan Orm who leads a revolution, and others.  Contains "The Black Flame" and "Dawn of Flame".

Stanley Grauman Weinbaum (1902 -1935) was an American science fiction writer. His career in science fiction was short but influential. His first story, "A Martian Odyssey", was published to great acclaim in July 1934; the alien Tweel was arguably the first character to satisfy John W. Campbell's challenge: "Write me a creature who thinks as well as a man, or better than a man, but not like a man." Weinbaum wrote more short stories and a few novels, but died from lung cancer less than a year and a half later. Most of the work that was published in his lifetime appeared in either Astounding or Wonder Stories. However, several of Weinbaum's pieces first appeared in the early fanzine Fantasy Magazine in the 1930s.

You drink, ' said the elfin, bearded face, 'to make real a dream. Is it not so? Either to dream that what you seek is yours, or else to dream that what you hate is conquered. You drink to escape reality, and the irony is that even reality is a dream.
