John F. Munro was a British professor of mechanical engineering at Bristol and author who wrote the science fiction stories , Sun-Rise in the Moon and A Message from Mars. A Message from Mars was included as the first chapter of A Trip to Venus, and A Trip to Venus was included in Farewell Fantastic Venus by Brian Aldiss and Harry Harrison.
