Through Space to Mars by Roy Rockwood is a thrilling science fiction narrative that follows the adventures of two young protagonists, Jack Darrow and Mark Sampson, as they embark on an unprecedented journey to the planet Mars. The story begins with the boys at the Universal Electrical and Chemical College, where Jack is conducting a risky experiment that results in a minor explosion. Shortly after, they receive a telegram from their guardian, Professor Amos Henderson, summoning them home. Upon their return, they meet Professor Santell Roumann, a German scientist with a bold plan to travel to Mars. Roumann reveals his discovery of a powerful new force called Etherium, which he believes can propel a projectile through space to the distant planet. Despite initial skepticism, Professor Henderson agrees to build the projectile, named the Annihilator, with the help of Jack and Mark. The narrative delves into the technical challenges and scientific discussions involved in constructing the spacecraft, highlighting the innovative design and the integration of advanced machinery. As the team prepares for the journey, they face the threat of espionage and the need for secrecy. The story captures the excitement and anticipation of venturing into the unknown, exploring themes of scientific curiosity, change, and the quest for knowledge.
