"Meteor-Men of Mars" by Harry Cord and Otis Adelbert Kline is a science fiction novel written during the early 20th century. The story revolves around an adventurous encounter between Earth and Mars, exploring themes of alien life, technological advancements, and a struggle for survival in an extraterrestrial setting. The narrative features the protagonists, research chemists Frank Hammond and Peter Storm, who inadvertently become embroiled in a conflict involving Martian warriors and the insect-like Sediphrons. The plot begins with Hammond and Storm enjoying a fishing trip when a meteor-like object falls into the water, leading to their discovery of an alien spacecraft. After encountering strange creatures and being transported to a fantastical version of Mars, the two men find themselves in a fight for survival against the monstrous Sediphrons, who seek to dominate the planet. Captured by the Amazons of Mars, they learn about the conflict between the two Martian races: the Metiphrons, who value unity and peace, and the Sediphrons, who represent a more aggressive essence. The narrative intensifies as they, alongside the Amazons, attempt to thwart the Sediphron invasion and escape back to Earth, underscoring a blend of action, camaraderie, and romantic undertones in the face of daunting odds.
