Edison's Conquest of Mars
Author: Garrett Putman Serviss
Published: 1898
Source: Project Gutenberg

Edison's Conquest of Mars, by Garrett P. Serviss, is one of the many science fiction novels published in the 19th century. Although science fiction was not at the time thought of as a distinct literary genre, it was a very popular literary form, with almost every fiction magazine regularly publishing science fiction stories and novels. "Edison's Conquest of Mars" was published in 1898 intended to be a sequel to "Fighters from Mars", an un-authorized and heavily altered version of H. G. Wells's The War of the Worlds, but did not achieve the fame of its predecessor. Serviss wrote himself into the story as a professor that Edison consults.

[…] After the first invasion, Earth is devastated. Many cities have been destroyed. New York is destroyed as the last Martians lift off Earth. Most Martians died from bacterial illness, but some few survived and left. The now devastated but free Earth begins to rise from the ashes and rejoice as the humans find themselves free again.

The joy quickly disappears as observations of Mars show new dust clouds shooting out of the planet. All disputes are put aside and all nations decide to work together against this common enemy. […]
