Lost on Venus

by Edgar Rice Burroughs, Kevin J. Anderson (Introduction)

Overview

Napier's adventures on Venus continue in this pulse-pounding sequel to Pirates of Venus. Here the intrepid and wry explorer takes on a savage world in order to rescue the princess from her sworn enemies. Napier's epic quest for Duare takes him through the streets of the City of the Dead, into the terrifying Room of the Seven Doors, and face to face with fantastic and perilous creatures. Featuring what may be Burroughs's most realistic hero, Lost on Venus brims with the action, suspense, and wit unique to the Master of Adventure.
