    A Martian Odyssey

    By Stanley Grauman Weinbaum

    About this ebook

    An astronaut on Mars got separated from his crew members after he wrecked his rocket and has to take a long and perilous walk back to safety and his mother-ship.

    If this sounds familiar and reminds you of The Martian , you’re not mistaken. There are indeed quite a few similarities between the two stories, and I wonder if Andy Weir took some inspiration from Weinbaum’s work.

      The Library of Gromma

      Jul 10, 2023

      Zac was sweating and panting as he reached the top of the hill. The crooked beams of the library loomed over him. He dropped the buckets of water, swore at the few drops that spilled, and escaped the piercing morning sun in the shade of the library.

      Fowling With A Fox Under A Wolf Moon

      Feb 16, 2022

      I hung my chest waders to dry over a roof joist in the shed. They had dangled there, like a headless corpse, for four weeks. The business of hedge laying had got in the way of my wildfowling for far too long. My abstemiousness ended when I accepted a
