    Martians Never Die by Lucius Daniel - It was a wonderful bodyguard: no bark, no bite, no sting ... just conversion of the enemy! 
    At three-fifteen, a young man walked into the circular brick building and took a flattened package of cigarettes from his shirt pocket. 
    "Mr. Stern?" he asked, throwing away the empty package. 
    Stern looked with hard eyes at the youthful reporter. He recognized the type. 
    "So they're sending around cubs now," he said. 
    "I'm no cub—I've been on the paper a whole year," the reporter protested, and then stopped, realizing his annoyance had betrayed him. 
    "Only a year. The first time they sent their best man." 
    "This ain't the first time," said the young man, assuming a bored look. "It's the fourth time, and next year I don't think anybody will come at all. Why should they?" 
    "Why, because they might be able to make it," Beryl spoke up. "Something must have happened before." 
    Stern watched the reporter drink in Beryl's loveliness. 
    "Well, Mrs. Curtis," the young man said, "everyone has it figured out that Dr. Curtis got stuck in the fourth dimension, or else lost, or died, maybe. Even Einstein can't work out the stellar currents your husband was depending on." 
    "It's very simple," replied Beryl, "but I can't explain it intelligibly. I wish you could have talked to Dr. Curtis." 
    "Why is it that we have to come out here just once a year to wait for him? Is that how the fourth dimension works?" 
    "It's the only time when the stellar currents permit the trip back to Earth. And it's not the fourth dimension! Clyde was always irritated when anyone would talk about his traveling to Mars in the fourth dimension." 
    "It's interdimensional," Stern put in.

    "He was mastered by the sheer surging of life, the tidal wave of being, the perfect joy of each separate muscle, joint, and sinew."
    
    Buck, a powerful and pampered St. Bernard-Scotch Shepherd mix, lives a life of luxury in sunny California. But his world is shattered when he is kidnapped and sold into the brutal reality of the Klondike Gold Rush. Forced into the harness of a sled dog, Buck must learn the "Law of Club and Fang" to survive the freezing North. As he endures treacherous trails, cruel masters, and the fierce rivalry of the lead dog, Spitz, Buck feels a dormant, prehistoric power stirring within him. It is the call of his ancestors—the wild wolves of the frozen forest—beckoning him to shed civilization and reclaim his primal throne.
    
    The Brutal Beauty of the Klondike: London draws on his own experiences in the Yukon to create a visceral, unforgiving setting. Through Buck's eyes, we witness the grueling physical demands of the trail and the raw "Survival of the Fittest" philosophy that governs both man and beast in the white silence of the North.
    
    A Bond Beyond Words: At the heart of the violence is the profound relationship between Buck and John Thornton, the one man who treats him with true compassion. This bond represents Buck's final tether to the human world, leading to a climactic choice between the love of a master and the irresistible pull of the wild.
    
    Answer the call. Purchase "The Call of the Wild" today and rediscover your own primal spirit.
