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.

After a violent tropical storm, Orando of the Utengi comes upon a strange bronze giant pinned under a fallen tree. Orando calls the creature Muzimo for it cannot remember its own name and therefore is most probably a god-a god who will protect Orando from the steel-taloned Leopard Men. Little does Orando know that his protector is Tarzan of the Apes-for the Lord of the Jungle has suffered an injury and does not know himself who he is! When the Tarzan series appeared in paperback form from Ballantine Books in the 1960's, Edgar Rice Burroughs Inc. decided to "tone" down ethnic content. So, most of the books in the series were censored. These censored texts are the ones which Gutenberg.org (an Internet Public Domain story site) picked up and which most reprinters of the stories are using. ERBville Press always goes back to the original sources of the text, whether magazine, First Edition book, or newspaper, for their reprinting.

One of the greatest names in science-fiction is that of John W. Campbell. Famed as the editor of Astounding Science Fiction/Analog for many years, John W. Campbell was earlier known for his exciting, imaginative novels of super-science, which placed his name alongside such greats as Edward E. Smith and Edmond Hamilton. THE BLACK STAR PASSES is such a book, narrating the adventures of the Earth scientists Arcot, Wade, and Morey as they fight at first for the freedom of their planet and then for the safety of the entire solar system. For cosmic scope, daring concepts, and sweeping adventure, it has never been surpassed.
