By a strange telepathic bond an Earthman makes contact with Zarlah of Mars, and, projected across space into a Martian body, lives among that ancient people and loves a woman of another world.

R. Norman Grisewood's 1909 novel is an imaginative interplanetary romance. Vivid, earnest, of its era. Read it for an early scientific-romance of Mars, a mind-transference journey to the red planet, its advanced civilization, and a hopeless love across the void, in the wonder-struck tradition of Edwardian planetary fiction, well before the pulp era gave the theme its full flowering.
