The Nemesis from Terra
From the back cover:
Rick Urquhart was going to conquer the turmoil-ridden planet of Mars. He was penniless and unknown, but there could be no doubt that he would rule the Red Planet--the ancient Martian mystic had made the prophecy, there was no way fate could cheat him of his prize.
But there were powerful interests on both Earth and Mars who didn't believe in prophecies--and they were going to undo Rick's future before it had a chance to begin . . .

About the author
Leigh Brackett
399 books240 followersLeigh Brackett was born on December 7, 1915 in Los Angeles, and raised near Santa Monica. Having spent her youth as an athletic tom-boy - playing volleyball and reading stories by Edgar Rice Burroughs and H Rider Haggard - she began writing fantastic adventures of her own. Several of these early efforts were read by Henry Kuttner, who critiqued her stories and introduced her to the SF personalities then living in California, including Robert Heinlein, Julius Schwartz, Jack Williamson, Edmond Hamilton - and another aspiring writer, Ray Bradbury.
In 1944, based on the hard-boiled dialogue in her first novel, No Good From a Corpse, producer/director Howard Hawks hired Brackett to collaborate with William Faulkner on the screenplay of Raymond Chandler's The Big Sleep.
Brackett maintained an on-again/off-again relationship with Hollywood for the remainder of her life. Between writing screenplays for such films as Rio Bravo, El Dorado, Hatari!, and The Long Goodbye, she produced novels such as the classic The Long Tomorrow (1955) and the Spur Award-winning Western, Follow the Free Wind (1963).
Brackett married Edmond Hamilton on New Year's Eve in 1946, and the couple maintained homes in the high-desert of California and the rural farmland of Kinsman, Ohio.
Just weeks before her death on March 17, 1978, she turned in the first draft screenplay for The Empire Strikes Back and the film was posthumously dedicated to her.

I picked this as another subway book, thinking that it would be light, fun, and adventurous--and not only did it deliver on those fronts, it also stood out in the genre for its unique set of characters and its dark, violent mood. This is one of those books that steps away from the usual doings of the genre and stakes out some ground of its own. I can see Brackett as both loving planetary adventures and wanting to do something that was all of her own; if she indeed desired the latter, then she nailed it in this slim tale.
More happens within five pages of this book than I usually find in dozens of pages in a contemporary release. The plot moves so quickly that there were times I had to back-track a few paragraphs to keep things straight. The setting changes in a blur of small, concise details that effectively outline a weird, lived-in world while leaving enough gaps to let imagination do the rest. I have read other books set on Mars--some by Brackett, actually--yet the Mars that Brackett depicts in "Nemesis" is one of the strangest and most compelling. More than terra incognita; more than a sci-fi take on westward expansion and frontier living, this Mars feels like a truly alien place that does not welcome human beings, even as the latter carve out a foothold through greed and force.
Was this kind of story more common in the 1960s (the decade in which this was published)? Did writers aim for short tales that touched upon epic themes through effective, sometimes poetic prose? Was adventure fiction just better, then? Or have I been lucky in my choices as I comb online sites and bookstores and blogs? Whatever the case, I am thankful times ten that I picked up Brackett years ago, and an additional beholden to the one-thousandth power that I happened upon a singleton edition of this title amongst the packed shelves of Second Story Books in Maryland. I have been reading for years, but I have never read something quite like this; my world is all the wider and richer for it.

Rick Urquhart is attempting to evade “The Company”, a rather ruthless mining conglomerate that wields much power on Mars. Tension has been building between rebellious Martians and humans who work for The Company. Rick encounters a Martian who prophesizes that Rick will ultimately rule the planet. Unfortunately, The Company catches Rick and sends him back to labor in the mines once again. From there the story takes off in a series of adventures involving his escape, a Martian-rights activist/love interest, travel to the Martian North Pole to meet with the “Thinkers”, overcoming several power-hungry bad guys, capture by the Martians, and ultimately rising to become the Martian’s greatest hope for success.
That’s a lot of plot to cover in one not-so-big book. It is typical of 1940’s Science Fiction however which tended to be long on plot and short on world or character building. I’ve long wanted to try Leigh Brackett, well known as a prolific author of science fiction short stories and novels from the pulp era as well as a screen writer (to include work on the script for “The Empire Strikes Back”). Much of her work is of the “planetary adventure” or “planetary romance” variety and this one sort of falls into that category. This is actually her first full length science fiction novel, first published under the title “Shadow Over Mars” in 1944 in the pulp magazine, “Startling Stories”.
I enjoyed reading this quite a bit even though it was a bit rough around the edges. Apparently, the style of this one is reflective of her previous work on a crime-noir novel and is darker than most of her later work which reportedly morphed into a more fluid style. Often referred to as the "Queen of Space Opera", she wrote in what was the consensus Mars world of science fiction from the 1930s to the 1950s, so world-building as we know it today was not as necessary. Everybody knew that Mars was a marginally habitable desert world, populated by ancient, decadent and mostly humanoid races. I do prefer more substantial characterization though rather than just names attached to interesting alien species as we see in this novel.
All-in-all, I’m glad I read this one, even if it isn’t a perfect representative sample of her work. I do plan to read more of her stuff as there is certainly enough here to bring me back.

The Nemesis from Terra was originally published in Startling Stories in 1944 with the much better and more appropriate title of Shadow Over Mars. It's pure fast-paced pulp adventure, but much better written than most of its contemporary offerings. Brackett was one of the few female pulp writers of the SF Golden Age, and one of the fewer still who wrote under her own gender-specific name. Hers Mars-set works were never as well known as those of Bradbury or Burroughs, but are just as richly detailed and memorable. Eric John Stark was her best-known character in print, but left-handed Rick in this book is a likable rogue who makes it all come out right in the end. It's a good adventure, one of the best samples from the era.

I really like Leigh Brackett, and particularly her stories of Eric John Stark. "The Nemesis of Terra," while seeming to be set on the same world as the Stark Mars stories, is not as good as those tales. It involves a character named Rick, who is just not quite as interesting to me. Still, there is some beautiful language, a lot of action, and some exciting inventions and tropes, although many of these later became somewhat cliche

Got this as a Christmas gift after reading through some lists of classic SF that any "fan" ought to have read. I appreciated it much as a product of SF's Golden/Pulp age, but it really showed as a first novel from Brackett. Gaping holes in terms of character development and motivation. People showed up and did things that moved the plot along, but I could never figure out why. Still, an interesting glimpse into 1940s versions of future dystopia (originally published as "Shadow over Mars").
More interesting: Brackett went on to write screenplays, including one of my all-time favorite movies: The Big Sleep. So, I remain a fan. Extra factoid: she wrote the original screenplay by Lucas' request for The Empire Strikes Back. While "rejected," it apparently still contributed several key ideas.

Not sure if she rewrote the pulp manuscript but it reads leaner than her 1970s Eric John Stark novels.

If Dashiell Hammett dropped A Princess of Mars into a pot of boiling water the results would this hard-boiled planetary romance. This is hard-core SF pulp with all the tropes and cliches that infest it. First meet the Chosen One and Great White Savior Rick of the Anglo-Saxon name(as well as many of the Terrans), a two-fisted, larger than life hero that will cast his shadow over Mars!(page 8) Then there's the love interest, tough girl Mayo McCall, She Who Must Be Rescued. Throw in some vaguely racist alien monsters and races and you have a typical stew for a pot-boiler. Will he get the girl and his bloody revenge, you can't make me talk copper!
Other authors tried the Burroughs' formula, Michael Moorcock, Philip José Farmer, Lin Carter, and of course Burroughs himself repeated until death, but this one ranks among the best.

This is an odd little adventure filled with blatant symbolism. The main character is a nobody miner from Earth (but who has never seen it, having been born in space) who is prophesied to cast his shadow over Mars, which the Martians interpret to mean he will rule it. The Martians, despite, or perhaps because of, being an ancient race far older than mankind, believe such superstitions, which means that everyone on Mars hates him. Except for one earth woman, who doesn’t trust him, and one Martian faerie, who trusts him too much.
The editing is horrible; the writing is moderately clumsy and, I hope, not Brackett’s best (while the book was published in 1961, the story was published in Startling Stories in 1944), but the story itself is interesting, and incorporates hard-boiled fiction into sword and planet in a way that isn’t quite predictable as sword and planet often is.

Cynical drifter Rick Urquhart fights to unite Mars. Although Rick is an Earthman, he was born in space, “in the hull of a tramp freighter” as he says. This short novel features an ancient prophecy, a rebellion, double crosses, swords, blasters, a variety of native Martian races, and a telepathic villain by the name of Jaffa Storm. Parts of the novel take place in the desert city of Ruh, a city full of space-hands, miners, thieves, and conmen.
This is Leigh Brackett’s first science fiction novel. It’s a fast moving pulp adventure from 1944. The original title was Shadow Over Mars. This is a much better title as it refers to the protagonist and the phrase is brought up many times throughout the story. Leigh Brackett’s version of Mars and the solar system would be fleshed out more in her later work.
3.5/5

This originally appeared in Startling Stories, Fall 1944, under the title of Shadow Over Mars. It then appeared as novel under the same title in 1951. It was retitled as The Nemesis from Terra for an Ace Double with Robert Silverberg in 1961 before being released as this single volume from Ace in 1976. At this time Ace released a uniform edition of all Leigh’s second Mars series stories which includes this book, The Sword of Rhiannon, and the collection The Coming of the Terrans.
This is classic pulp with Mars as a wild frontier. There’s giant sandworms, though they are extinct at the point in Mars history when this story is set. But their tunnels remain and they’re fossilised bodies. There’s an evil corporation enslaving Marshies. The company’s name is the Terran Exploitations Company. The human race as evolved into subtle different sub-species. There’s Mercurians, Martians, Venusians, and Terrans. But there’s also true pre-human Martians which are essentially faeries.
The story is swashbuckling adventure for Martian independence with a dash or revenge and side order of romance. It’s clearly in the tradition of ERBs Barsoom series, but it’s more technologically flavoured than ERB. And like ERBs books this is enormous fun.
I do have one slight criticism, the plot is a little unfocussed. It all comes together at the end and makes sense, but it wanders focussing on one aspect of the story at a time rather than having it all fully integrated. I wanted go as far as calling it episodic, but it’s heading in that direction.
For the nerds amongst us on page 104 Leigh writes ‘the lighter-than-hydrogen synthetic gas’. My initial reaction was bollocks, but a quick google shows she was just ahead of her time. She conceived of gaseous Muonium 16 years before it’s discovery. So I’ve learned some interesting new science from this book.

The Nemesis from Terra is the 2nd book I've read by Leigh Brackett, the first being a noir mystery. This was an entertaining Sci-Fi adventure. It reminds me a bit of Edgar Rice Burroughs' John Carter books, in that it was set on Mars. It also reminded me of 1960's Sci-Fi adventures and also the serials I used to watch before the Saturday matinee. For those too young to know what these were, each episode lasted about 15 minutes, was filled with action and ended with a cliff-hanger, meaning you had to return for next Saturday's episode....
This was a poor man's John Carter of Mars. Rick Urquhart is an adventurer who is captured on Mars by a roving gang who need prisoners to work in the Martian mines. Before he is captured, Rick hides out in a small apartment where an old woman reads his future and tells him that he is the Shadow of Mars, and will determine its future. She attempts to kill Rick but he kills her in self-defence and brings down the enmity of her dwarfish son.
Rick escapes from the mines and causes an uprising against the Mining company, bringing together the Earthmen and Martian citizens. This starts an exciting adventure where Rick must travel across Mars to save himself and the planet. It's all far-fetched and entertaining. Short enough to keep your attention and filled with action. Fun and games. Worth trying if you want to see old style space adventure Sci-Fi (2.5 stars)

This is a very pulpy early work from Leigh Brackett (her first novel, I think). I read this as part of my quest to better understand the history of science fiction and, with it being Women's History Month and all, I thought I'd check out one of the better known women writers from the Golden Age of SF.
Rick is a random guy who shows up on Mars and ends up being mystically ordained as the savior of Mars (no joke). Numerous hijinks ensue that include everything from women instantly falling in love with him to accidentally taking a drug trip to stumbling on ruins of an ancient civilization. There's also a complex political situation involving a nefarious mining company and several political factions. And some giant tunneling worms.
The plot felt sort of haphazard, nothing is explained thoroughly, and the characters are pretty thin, but there are some interesting ideas. Since this is Brackett's early work, I won't take this as definitive of her work. Especially considering her place in history for co-writing the screenplay for a minor little film called The Empire Strikes Back!

This was a big letdown from the Queen of Space Opera especially since it had a publish date of 1961. I loved her Eric John Stark stories. I then found that the story was actually first published in 1944, much earlier in her career, as Shadow Over Mars (a much better title). The protagonist isn't a very likeable character and the writing seemed a little choppy and awkward at times. I'm not sure if it would be considered a space opera or a planetary romance. It's typical of Brackett's style of setting adventures on planets like Mars and Venus were their are existing cultures that are relatively barbaric in nature contrasting with the technology of space faring humans. Her heroes are earth men whose rough hewn nature allows them to adapt well to these cultures and deal successfully with any physical danger they face. Rick is this type of man but not as well drawn as later characters like Eric John Stark.

Most of Leigh Brackett's Martian adventures are pulps with a lush, exotic feel. This one comes from the side of Brackett that gave us a script for The Big Sleep. Rick, the protagonist, is a hardboiled man struggling to stay out from under the thumb of the Terran corporation taking over Mars (this appears to fall later in Brackett's timeline than her Stark stories or The Coming of the Terrans). A precog predicts that Rick is to rule Mars, which sets him off on a crazy quest to do just that.
It's very hardboiled. The tough as nails protagonist. The woman who makes him feel soft, but does she make him go soft enough? A lot of smoking. Double-crosses and some really violent action (Rick goes through the ringer). A really unexpected weapon in the final showdown.
4.5.

Actually 3 and 1/2 stars due to the characterization being somewhat cardboard figures. I was surprised at the number time one character got knocked over the head. The adventures had imagination and I figure this is one of the better than average space operas from the golden age before we learned to much about the real environment on Mars. Leigh Brackett was a good writer, so she makes this book enjoyable for a quick read.

Fun, fast-paced old-school science fiction. Has the feel of a pulp serial, but defies many of the tropes of the do-no-wrong space cadet stereotype. Touches lightly on many interesting tangents that leave you wondering, such that this book written today would take up 3x the number of pages.
Self note: winner of the 1945 Retro Hugo Award (2020) for best novel (as "Shadow Over Mars")

Nemesis from Terra:
Fairly standard but well executed pulp planetary romance / space opera, with desert Mars, swampy Venus and our hero overcoming evil Earth industrialists and perhaps a bit of commentary on colonialism as well.

Pulp science fiction of the '40s. Main character, Rik, is a cross between Quaid (Total Recall) and Sam Spade (The Big Sleep). Humans and Martians work together to overthrow the Company, who had ruled Mars with an iron fist. Rik fulfilled a prophecy by being the lynchpin to unite Martians and Humans to fight together, the "Shadow over Mars" (original title when first published).

Old timey, but quite good. Lots of tropes that now look kinda old-fashioned, but were par for the course yesteryear.
It is an extremely fast-paced read, with lots of violence (and even some grimdark moments :) ). The conclusion is also beautifully executed, even if the ending is a bit cliché.

Cannot get past the protagonists name being Rick, wonder if that's where Roiland got his inspiration for Rick & Morty (some similar themes exist, guns, mind reading, space cowboy, interspecies sexual relations). Overall a fun book.

November 6, 2025What the helly did I just read? This was a bizarre and wild adventure. While a lot didn't age well (A LOT DIDN'T AGE WELL), I do really appreciate how vivid the writing was. Also the obsession with plastic! And got a chuckle out of the final fight scene.

When viewing this in retrospect, it's easy to see why Lucas would have chosen Brackett as the writer and initial crafter of the Empire Strikes Back script. The swashbuckling, romance, and focus on betrayal and liberation all line up with what Lucas wanted to see in the sequel.
December 31, 2021
Short book. Moves rather fast. Lots to keep up with though
November 25, 2022
This was an odd story. Almost Brackett's take on Rice Burrough's Mars series. A lot of action and plot twists. Not quite my thing but always okay to explore a vintage sci-fi writer's style.
Want to read
September 14, 2013I'll have to try this one again, I had this copy as a kid. And I just couldn't get into it then. I have the suspicion that one of the elements of my not getting into Brackett earlier has been the cover art.
