About this title

Synopsis

"An entertaining story that plays like 2001 A Space Odyssey in reverse. Martians, an interplanetary cold war, asteroids, and devolution await."

About the Author

Manly Wade Wellman was an American writer of science fiction, fantasy, horror, mystery, and regional supernatural fiction. Born in 1903, he became one of the distinctive voices of twentieth-century popular fiction, publishing across pulp magazines, books, and anthologies for decades. While later readers often associate him with his Southern Appalachian fantasy and horror stories, including the Silver John tales, Wellman also wrote energetic science fiction and adventure stories for the magazine market.His work is known for its storytelling drive, vivid atmosphere, folklore, mystery, and willingness to move between genres without losing pace or personality. Devil's Asteroid, first published in Comet in 1941, shows Wellman working in classic pulp science fiction mode: compact, adventurous, speculative, and built around the wonder and danger of an unknown world. Readers interested in vintage science fiction, pulp magazines, weird fiction, and the crosscurrents between SF, fantasy, and horror will find Wellman an important and rewarding figure.
