This Halcyon Classics ebook contains nine short stories by early science fiction writer Stanley Weinbaum, including his highly acclaimed and influential A MARTIAN ODYSSEY. In A MARTIAN ODYSSEY, Weinbaum created the sympathetic alien, one who is able to think and reason in a decidedly non-human way. 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 includes an active table of contents for easy navigation.
