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 Post

"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
