SOS from Mars: A First-Hand Account of the Second and Third Martian Expeditions by the Spaceships Albatross and Comet Compiled from Notes and Records by Various Members of the Exploring Parties, the Whole Revised by Stephen MacFarlane, and Now Fully Assembled and Edited by John Keir Cross
Synopsis:
"another thrilling and quite realistic trip to Mars"
--KirkusReviews.com (contemporary starred review)
The writing is "wasted here on a very simple plot of the rescue of two scientists stranded on Mars among all the cliches of pre-historic science fiction, from carnivorous plants to Sinister Great Brains. The young ... may find the tired ideas new and vivid [illegible] and certainly well told."
--Louise S. Bechtel NY Herald Tribune 1954-05-23 pE8 "Books for Boys and Girls" (brief review of the US ed. as disappointing from Cross after The Stolen Sphere)
