Blurb: “An international money prize was being offered to the first man to complete an interplanetary journey, and Dale Currance, the famous aircraft designer, volunteered as the British entrant.

With a hand-picked crew, he blasted off from Salisbury Plain in his own spaceship, GLORIA MUNDI, destination -

Mars. But once free of the

Earth's atmosphere, he discovered a stowaway on board - a woman.

Joan and her strange quest should have prepared them better for the fantastic world that waited far out in the darkness of space. But the men from Earth were from a relatively young and hopeful civilisation, while Mars was a dying planet. Its inhabitants knew they could survive in one way only = a way too abhorrent for the Earthmen to comprehend. Only Joan realised they might have a lesson to learn from the Martian race For one day Earth would die, too.

This early novel from a classic science fiction writer shows the brilliant visionary talent that later produced THE DAY OF THE TRIFFIDS and THE MIDWICH CUCKOOS.”
