Overview

The book "Escape on Venus" first appeared as four separate stories, published in the pulp magazine Fantastic Adventures, comprising "Slaves of the Fish Men", "Goddess of Fire", "The Living Dead", and "War on Venus". We present the original texts as they first appeared in print. Edgar Rice Burroughs only wrote one additional complete novelette of Venus-"The Wizard of Venus"-and the first six typewritten pages of an untitled story. He died before completing that last Venus story or the remaining two stories which would have been added to form a complete novel.

About the Author

Edgar Rice Burroughs (1875-1950) had various jobs before getting his first fiction published at the age of 37. He established himself with wildly imaginative, swashbuckling romances about Tarzan of the Apes, John Carter of Mars and other heroes, all at large in exotic environments of perpetual adventure. Tarzan was particularly successful, appearing in silent film as early as 1918 and making the author famous. Burroughs wrote science fiction, westerns and historical adventure, all charged with his propulsive prose and often startling inventiveness. Although he claimed he sought only to provide entertainment, his work has been credited as inspirational by many authors and scientists.
