A tale of Atlantis and interplanetary space-travel in contemporary science terms of the 20's, including Einsteins's early descriptions of television and space-time. This is one of a series of titles in The Best of Soviet Science Fiction and is introduced by T. Sturgeon. It's the love story of a soldier and a princess who meet on Mars and also the devastating battles between Martian rebels and their tyrannical government. I just love old-time science fiction! and this one's well written.
