'Edison's Conquest of Mars' was printed in 1898 as a subsequence to H.G.Wells's 'The War of the Worlds'. It concerns Edison's efforts to hold off a Martian attack on Earth, with his own occupation of Mars. It also, as is visible in the title reveres Thomas Edison as the main hero of the story. This is the first literary presence of a spacesuit and the magnetic force he uses to move his ships through interplanetary space is more credible and founded in Science than the giant canon that the Martians use to throw their cylinders towards the Earth. This book consist of the first space battle to ever show in print. It is the first alien kidnapping story. It has asteroid mining and the first truly useful spacesuits. Serviss acquire the collaboration of the famous innovator Thomas Edison and invented a totally different and amazing tale of humans conquering Mars. Together, this army of Science Heroes start the longest journey in human history, in an effort to save the world. It has a position in the history of science fiction for its early employment of themes and concepts that later became standards of the class.
