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. 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 is DRM free and includes an active table of contents. This unexpurgated edition contains the complete text with errors and omissions corrected.

Weinbaum's name deserves to rank with those of Wells and Heinlein - and no more than a handful of others - as among the great shapers of modern science fiction." - Frederik Pohl
