“Fred Nadis’s insightful biography demonstrates that Palmer is significant as well as intriguing.” —The Washington Post
“One of science fiction’s greatest gadflies gets his due in this lively and entertaining biography.” —Publishers Weekly
“Lucidly written and unfailingly lively, The Man from Mars is a biography worthy of its subject.” —Fate magazine
