Gilbert And Edgar On Mars

G.K.

Chesterton, rotund raconteur, fantastical novelist, literary

journalist, paradoxical poet and prolific short story writer, penned

more than a hundred books in his lifetime as well as countless articles

and essays on every subject under the sun—but only now can his travels

across the face of the Red Planet be revealed.

In

this exuberant novella Eric Brown recounts Chesterton's astounding

adventures on Mars, his meeting with Edgar Rice Burroughs and his

treatment at the hands of the mysterious Six Philosophers. As G.K

witnesses apparition after apparition of the bizarre and the

extraterrestrially exotic, reality itself increasingly breaks down, and

his most cherished beliefs are seemingly contradicted and inverted. In

the face of this, all the great author can draw on is his fundamental

strength of character and his faith . . .

Why has Chesterton been whisked away from planet Earth—and will he ever return?
