About this listen

When the Atoms Failed by John W. Campbell, Jr. is a visionary science fiction adventure that pits humanity against a devastating Martian threat in a high-stakes battle of science, willpower, and survival.

Set in the early atomic age, this gripping tale follows Stephen Waterson, a brilliant inventor who constructs the revolutionary spaceship Terrestrian to confront an alien menace wielding the terrifying power of atomic energy.

With thrilling space battles, speculative technology, and a touch of romance, Campbell blends hard science with interplanetary drama in a classic narrative of courage and discovery. Perfect for fans of vintage sci-fi, technological imagination, and epic cosmic conflict.
