Howard Browne (April 15, 1908–October 28, 1999) was a science fiction editor and mystery writer. He also wrote for several television series and films. Some of his work appeared over the pseudonyms John Evans, Alexander Blade, Lawrence Chandler, Ivar Jorgensen, and Lee Francis.

Excerpt
Here is history's biggest news scoop! Those intrepid reporters Jack Lait and Lee Mortimer, whose best-selling exposes of life's seamy side from New York to Medicine Hat have made them famous, here strip away the veil of millions of miles to bring you the lowdown on our sister planet. It is an amazing account of vice and violence, of virtues and victims, told in vivid, jet-speed style.

Thank you for posting it. Any book with Mars in the title is automatically worth a look.

But unfortunately, this book isn't SciFi. It just uses Mars as another town. I only read a tiny bit, but that was enough.

The Martian feeling is dreamlike; it comes from being close to the stuff dreams are made of.

With Firefox, I can either left click or right click and "Save Link As". Either way it saves an .epub file.

Are you sure you clicking on the link in the Attached Files box?
What browser are you using?
What platform? (e.g. Windows, Linux, Mac)
