Tyrant of the Red World by Richard Tooker:
Science Fiction Inventions, Technology and Ideas

"Many of the early stories of science about adventures on other w^orlds were called "Utopian;” because the author used the interplanetary adventure as a means of picturing another civilization better and finer than our own.

And just as men, dissatisfied with their present conditions have gone venturing into new parts of the earth, so men in the future may settle upon other worlds.

But suppose that a group of explorers who had hoped to return to earth after their interplanetary journey found they were stranded upon an alien planet; and hope of rescue was slight. Faced with the prospect of remaining for the rest of their lives, what would be their reactions? What kind of a world would they try to construct for themselves; and what would be their adventures in fighting for the necessities of life upon a hostile planet? These questions our author answers in this striking and unusual tale."
