Reading Science Fiction Novels in English _ Monsters of Mars By Edmond Hamilton
"Monsters of Mars" is a short story published by Edmond Hamilton in 1931. This work is one of Hamilton's early works, and it is a story that shows his unique imagination and exploration of space horror.
The story is set in the future when humanity has successfully explored Mars for the first time. Scientists on Earth send the first expedition to Mars, and they set off on a mission to uncover the mysteries of the red planet. However, as soon as the expedition arrives on Mars, they face an unexpected and terrifying situation.
Through this story, Hamilton explores the possibility of extraterrestrial life, the dangers of space exploration by humanity, and the fear that the unknown world can bring. As the title "Monsters of Mars" suggests, the author portrays extraterrestrial life not simply as mysterious or wonderful, but as a potential threat, creating tension for readers.
The work reflects the public's curiosity and fear of Mars at the time. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, theories about Martian canals raised the possibility of a Martian civilization, inspiring many science fiction writers. Hamilton used this period as a backdrop to create a story that stimulated the imagination of readers.
"Monsters of Mars" is one of the early works of the subgenre of space horror, which influenced many later works. The novel balances the excitement of space exploration with the dangers it can bring, creating a sense of awe for the vastness of space and the unknown.
Hamilton's vivid descriptions and tense plot development draw readers deeply into the story. Although it is a work from the early 1930s, "Monsters of Mars" still provides an interesting read for many science fiction and horror fans today.
Summary
The Martian gestured with a reptilian arm toward the ladder.
Allan Randall stared at the man before him. "And that's why you sent for me, Milton?" he finally asked.
There was a moment's silence, in which Randall's eyes moved as though uncomprehendingly from the face of Milton to those of the two men beside him. The four sat together at the end of a roughly furnished and electric-lit living-room, and in that momentary silence there came in to them from the outside night the distant pounding of the Atlantic upon the beach. It was Randall who first spoke again.
