This unauthorized sequel to War of the Worlds from 1898 has none other than Thomas Edison inventing spaceships and death rays, then leading an Earth fleet off to Mars to show those Martians the what-for. It's not exactly what you'd call good, but it's very interesting, especially in the way it anticipates later sci-fi, real-world space exploration, and pop mythology. (It's the first work of SF to have space suits and spacewalking, and the first to use the old aliens-built-the-pyramid idea.)
