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.
