About This Book
"For more than six hundred years we have been able to observe the progress of your planet," the Martian said through the device I had built, "through an instrument by which light-waves are projected and received, and have found it to be identical with ours of almost fifteen hundred years ago. Anxiously we have watched and waited for the discovery of an instrument that would respond to our projected light-waves and reveal to you the inhabitants of your neighboring planet. At last this momentous time has arrived. I congratulate you upon bringing it about."
