Twin of the Amazon

Mars will have its revenge The Amazon had plans to colonize Mars—but the Martians put a spoke in her wheel. Making a quick trip to the red planet, shen could find no trace of life in the bleak deserts that covered the globe; but soon after her return a huge meteorite landed near Stonehenge on Salisbury Plain. Coincidence? Unlikely. Then, an accident destroyed the Central Power House in London, chief generator of atomic power for the Home Counties. The same night Westminster Bridge collapsed, and the authorities realized that some mysterious force was undermining the strength of every metal structure in the country. The Amazon realises that martians are to blame, and battle begins… Twin of the Amazon is another classic sci-fi opera-adventure from John Russell Fearn “… A pioneer of science fiction […] he was one of the Greats….” — John Carnell, New Worlds John Russell Fearn was an extremely prolific and popular British writer, who began in the American pulps, then almost single-handedly drove the post-World War II boom in British publishing.
