Carson Napier set out for Mars in a secret interplanetary rocket but
found himself instead on a different world—the cloud-hidden planet
Venus.
Venus was a startling world—semi-private, semi-civilized. It was a place
of unmapped oceans dotted with great islands; a world whose trees
pierced the clouds and whose cities squatted on their branches; a planet
whose inhabitants included men, half-men, and monsters, all struggling
with each other for dominance.
Carson Napier’s adventures, his search for the beautiful Duare, are a
Burroughs novel in the best Tarzan tradition.
