Episode 136 - Edison's Conquest Ep 1 - Serviss is Selling
🕑 Added 2023-01-27 18:02:13 +0000 UTCOur first reading of Garrett P. Serviss' Edison's Conquest of Mars is a real cracker jack, a tip-top lally-cooler!
Truly, an enjoyable book if for nothing more than the action movie quipping of Professor Sylvanus P. Thompson.
All the departments are here, as well as a description of Mike's brother-in-law's actual Edison cylinder mechanism! (Possible Patreon extra demonstration of it to come.)
Buy the book here or read for free online.
Reading assignment: Read up until "The Prisoner Teaches" in chapter 9

Did anyone else get a Masque of the Red Death vibe from the party they threw after they decided to go beat up the Martians?
