This is the sixth part of a nine part series. In this series, I will discuss how Mars is depicted in various fictional works such as movies, books, and games.In Part VI, I will discuss about a science fiction novel by Arnould Galopin that depicts the inhabitants on Mars as savage dwarf-like beings with long, tentacle arms, bat-men with artificial wings, and a race of civilized macro-cephalic gnomes. The story of Doctor Omega is about a crew of explorers who used a spacecraft made from a substance called stellite to travel to Mars. This substance can repel time and space. They end up landing in one of the Martian seas, where they encounter phosphorescent fish and aggressive reptilian mermen. The novel also discusses about the explorers’ interaction with the inhabitants of Mars.
