    About this ebook

    A baby born of two worlds was this Martian, but even after thousands of years he remembered that revenge was his mission on Earth!


    John Russell Fearn (1908–1960) was a British author and one of the first British writers to appear in American pulp science fiction magazines. Always a highly prolific author, he published not only under his own name, but also as Vargo Statten and other pseudonyms including Thornton Ayre, Polton Cross, Geoffrey Armstrong, John Cotton, Dennis Clive, Ephriam Winiki, Astron Del Martia (and others). He remains best known for his long-running Golden Amazon saga. At times these drew on the pulp traditions of Edgar Rice Burroughs. Fearn also wrote Westerns and crime fiction.

      CHAPTER I

      The Cell Cluster from Mars

      Mr. Halworthy is in the laboratory, Miss Crawford. Working late, I guess.

      Vera Crawford nodded her thanks as the old Institute janitor resumed his mop and pail. She strode on purposefully down the white enameled corridor, finally flung open the green door at the far end.

      Who the hell’s opened that door? demanded Halworthy’s irate voice. I don’t want any cold air in here, and— Why hello, Vera!

      The scientist broke off in surprised greeting as he came round a bench piled up with bottles and paraphernalia. Young, good looking after a fashion, his blue eyes became rather sheepish as he found the girl accusingly regarding him.

      Are you aware, Lance Halworthy, that you had an appointment with me tonight for the television theater? she asked bitterly. It may interest you to know I’ve got feet as cold as icebergs from waiting down town for you!

      I forgot all about it, he said solemnly. Yes—seriously I did. I’m engaged on such an important experiment—

      Experiment! When do I ever hear any other excuse? The girl came forward and rubbed her chilled hands over the electric stove. Then as Lance said nothing further she turned a curious pair of brown eyes upon him. Well, what is it? she asked resignedly.
