"another thrilling and quite realistic trip to Mars" --KirkusReviews.com (contemporary starred review) The writing is "wasted here on a very simple plot of the rescue of two scientists stranded on Mars among all the cliches of pre-historic science fiction, from carnivorous plants to Sinister Great Brains.

Bechtel NY Herald Tribune 1954-05-23 pE8 "Books for Boys and Girls" (brief review of the US ed. as disappointing from Cross after The Stolen Sphere)
