Holder was forced to crash-land the ship in the Martian desert, and suddenly acquired a new mission - to survive. FIRST ON MARS is Rex Gordon's gripping saga of man pitted against the terrors and challenges of an alien world. From Holder's first efforts to construct survival tools out of the chaos of a shattered spacecraft, to his perilous attempts to establish communication with two alien life-forms, to the mind-buffeting discovery of his ultimate role in the ecological chain of the enigmatic planet, FIRST ON MARStakes the reader on a spellbinding voyage of discovery - a journey to adventure in the greatest traditions of science fiction....a novel to remember. FIRST ON MARS is #19 in the SF REDISCOVERY Series, dedicated to making available once more - and on a continuing basis - past masterworks of science fiction, both famous and forgotten.
