| Summary | "Edison's Conquest of Mars" by Garrett Putman Serviss is a science fiction novel written in the late 19th century. This story serves as a sequel to H.G. Wells' "War of the Worlds," and follows the brilliant inventor Thomas Edison as he leads an international effort to counter an impending second invasion from Mars. The narrative blends elements of adventure, science, and speculative technology, showcasing the ingenuity of Edison's inventions and the determination of Earth's inhabitants to protect their home. At the start of the novel, the catastrophic aftermath of the Martian invasion has left Earth in ruins, with widespread despair as astronomers report signs of a new threat from Mars. Yet hope emerges when Edison unveils his revolutionary discoveries, including the "disintegrator," a weapon capable of dismantling Martian technology, and an advanced flying machine for interplanetary travel. As nations unite to prepare for war, the story emphasizes themes of human resilience and cooperation against a common foe, setting the stage for an adventurous journey to Mars, where Earth’s champions intend to confront their adversaries in a battle for survival.
