Pirates of Venus
Pirates of Venus | Burroughs
1 post | 1 read | 2 to read
The shimmering, cloud-covered planet of Venus conceals a wondrous secret: the strikingly beautiful yet deadly world of Amtor. In Amtor, cities of immortal beings flourish in giant trees reaching thousands of feet into the sky; ferocious beasts stalk the wilderness below; rare flashes of sunlight precipitate devastating storms; and the inhabitants believe their world is saucer-shaped with a fiery center and an icy rim. Stranded on Amtor after his spaceship crashes, astronaut Carson Napier is swept into a world where revolution is ripe, the love of a princess carries a dear price, and death can come as easily from the blade of a sword as from the ray of a futuristic gun

Found these in an old used bookshop yesterday. All Frazetta covers too. Sad that someone added shorts to the woman on the Escape to Venus cover tho. Given how long ago these were written, I guess the censorship shouldn't surprise me. I enjoyed the John Carter of Mars books I read by him. (Known as the Barsoom series.) Since these were written after those, they might be even better. #scifibooks #oldscifi #tbrpile

Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick Imagine being so disturbed by the female backside you have to draw shorts on a book cover?! 🙄 4y
bookishbitch @Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick I know. It's quite bizarre. 4y
