Synopsis
Now in paperback, the rollicking, critically acclaimed true story of the legendary writer and editor who ruled over America's sci-fi, fantasy, and supernatural pulp journals in the mid-twentieth century: Ray Palmer. "Palmer could not have asked for a more sympathetic chronicler, or a better one, than Fred Nadis. His prose and his pronouncements are everything Palmer's practically never were: restrained, nuanced, intelligently considered. Nadis has a great story, and he relates it exquisitely." --Jerome Clark, Fortean Times "Fred Nadis's insightful biography demonstrates that Palmer is significant as well as intriguing." -- The Washington Pos t "One of science fiction's greatest gadflies gets his due in this lively and entertaining biography." -- Publishers Weekly "Lucidly written and unfailingly lively, The Man from Mars is a biography worthy of its subject." -- Fate magazine, The rollicking, critically acclaimed true story of Ray Palmer, the legendary Amazing Stories editor who ruled over America's sci-fi, fantasy, and supernatural pulp journals in the mid-twentiety century and brought flying saucers, men in black, and government cover-ups into our minds.

Jerome Clark, Fortean Times 'Fred Nadis's insightful biography demonstrates that Palmer is significant as well as intriguing.' Michael Saler, The Washington Pos t ' The author paints a story of a larger-than-life writer, editor, and publisher whose unorthodox methods propelled a nascent genre of tales, conspiracies, and other worlds into high visibility.' Library Journal 'The sci-fi pulps made a lasting imprint, as Fred Nadis shows in his entertaining The Man from Mars . . . . Mr. Nadis does not take sides in what was once a civil war among the fans but reminds them that there was more than one mighty editior back in the Golden Age.' Tom Shippey, The Wall Street Journal 'One of science fiction's greatest gadflies gets his due in this lively and entertaining biography.' Publishers Weekly 'Lucidly written and unfailingly lively, The Man from Mars is a biography worthy of its subject.
