Men, Martians and Machines
Eric Frank Russell
Voyage of the Marathon -
Even at the time when space ships were making regular voyages across
the universe, the MARATHON was a remarkable craft. Powered by the
Flettner system, its speed was so great that for the first time
exploration of the outer galaxies was made possible.
MEN,
MARTIANS AND MACHINES describes some of the great voyages made by the
MARATHON. There was, for example, the planet which was solely inhabited
by machines - survivors, perhaps, from a civilization in which the first
machine-makers had perished. On another planet, the inhabitants had
developed the power of hypnotism to a fantastic degree, so that the
observer saw only what he was willed to see.
