Martians Never Die

About the author

Lucius Daniel is a little-documented science fiction writer associated with the early 1950s pulp-magazine era. The clearest widely available records point to "Martians Never Die" and "Up for Renewal" as his known works, and Project Gutenberg lists both under his name.

Because reliable biographical information is scarce, not much can be said with confidence about his life outside the fiction itself. What does stand out is his place in mid-century magazine science fiction, where short, idea-driven stories often delivered big concepts in a compact, fast-moving form.

For listeners who enjoy rediscovering overlooked genre writers, Lucius Daniel offers that kind of experience: a brief but intriguing presence from science fiction's classic magazine age.
