About This Book

A carnival impresario funds a secret expedition to Mars to secure an extraterrestrial for his show. Two men travel to the planet, encounter unfamiliar three-legged creatures, and one is killed while the other is captured. Martian scientists employ a device to learn the visitors' language and effect a body-exchange that leaves the Earthman trapped in an alien form. Back on Earth the transformed man becomes the circus attraction, while the alien occupants of the humans' bodies conspire with the impresario to use him as their ticket home.
