Theaker’s Quarterly Fiction #31 (Winter 2009) has a refreshing review of The Nyctalope on Mars (1911), an old French pulp novel written by Jean de La Hire that was translated into English by Brian M. Stableford and published in 2008 by Black Coat Press. The reviewer concludes: “But for me this [novel] wasn’t just of historical interest. It was exciting, amusing, eccentric and quite unique, and I’d recommend it highly to anyone who prizes those qualities.”Pictured: The Nyctalope on Mars (2008).

Amazing novel i've read years ago.

Doc Mars, can you provide a link to the cover of the first edition? Something must have gotten lost in the translation, as I couldn't figure out which cover was the first edition. Thanks.
Hi Paul,
Here are the 1906 first edition cover (Albin Michel editor)and the 1949 cover.
