Edgar Rice Burroughs 4 hr 30 min read

Carson Napier, the first American in space, is a captive fleeing across the cloud-wrapped world of Amtor, through jungles, monsters, and menace, to win back the beautiful Duare.

Edgar Rice Burroughs's 1933 novel is a rousing Venus (Amtor) planetary romance, second in his beloved series. Colorful, breathless, wildly imaginative. Read it for classic Burroughs sword-and-planet adventure across an alien world of endless peril and exotic wonder.
