"Martians Never Die" by Lucius Daniel is a science fiction novel written in the early 1950s. The book revolves around themes of interdimensional travel, the complexities of human relationships, and alien encounters. Set primarily in a brick building designed for a special machine, it explores the emotional turmoil and jealousy of the characters as they await the return of Dr. Clyde Curtis from Mars. The story unfolds as Dr. Curtis mysteriously reappears with a creature from Mars, known as Schaughtowl, after a long and uncertain absence. As the narrative progresses, tensions rise between Curtis, his fiancée Beryl, and Stern, who is both Curtis's friend and an opportunist. Stern’s jealousy and desire for wealth lead him to contemplate eliminating Curtis, whom he views as an obstacle to his ambitions and affection for Beryl. Ultimately, the book culminates in a twist that plays with the idea of love and perception, leaving readers to ponder the true nature of the characters' relationships and the consequences of their actions. The intertwining themes of loyalty, ambition, and the allure of the unknown provide rich ground for reflection on human nature and desires. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
