Gilbert and Edgar on Mars
A novella.
G.K. Chesterton, 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 Six Philosophers.
Why was Chesterton whisked away from planet Earth – and will he ever return?
