The book explores the nature and possibilities of extraterrestrial worlds and their inhabitants in light of contemporary discoveries in astronomy. Serviss aims to merge human interest with scientific inquiry, discussing not only the facts about planets such as Mars and Venus but also the implications concerning the potential for life beyond Earth.  The opening of the book sets the tone for an imaginative yet factual exploration of other worlds. Serviss describes the growing interest among both the public and scientists regarding the existence of life on other planets, especially Mars, which has been a focal point of speculation since its peculiar surface markings were first observed. He captures the evolution of thought surrounding interplanetary communication and presents the case for considering the similarities and differences between Earth and its celestial neighbors. An emphasis is placed on understanding the conditions that might support life, with thoughts on what inhabitants of these worlds might perceive during their own cosmic existences.
