Chapter7- A fourth expidetion lands on Mars with a captian a little more suspectful than the last few. Part of his crew is a strange man named Mr. spender whom we find out is the last martian. This chapter so far has my favorite line which is, "Science is no more than an investigation of a miracle, and art is an interpretation of that miracle." It's one of the more beautiful lines i have ever read. After Spender killed 5 or 6 people the captian finally killed spender but not before becoming a little bit like Spender.
