Edison's Conquest of Mars (1898 novel)

Edison's Conquest of Mars is a semi-scientific romance (science-fiction adventure) novel by Garrett P. Serviss that uses then-contemporary public figures as characters, notably the title character Thomas Edison, and acts as a sequel to H. G. Wells's War of the Worlds (or, more accurately, the unauthorised revised edition of that novel, serialised as Fighters from Mars), detailing the human response to a failed Martian invasion and the repurposing of alien technology to take the retaliatory expedition into space and against Mars itself. The story was first serialised in twenty-five parts and published by the Los Angeles Herald and other newspapers during 1898, only later being republished in a book edition by Carcosa House in 1947.
