Martha Dane - Omnilingual

Posted on March 22nd 2012

Martha Dane

Illustration of Martha Dane, the lead character from one of my favourite Science Fiction novellas, Omnilingual by H. Beam Piper.

The story which first appeared in the February 1957 issue of Astounding Science Fiction, is the tale of a joint military and academic expedition to Mars. It centres around Martha's attempt to decipher the Martian language, despite the scepticism and/or hostility of her archaeological colleagues.
