A bit better

Quite a fast paced adventure story! Characters are becoming more familiar, but still a very light story with simple villains and not a complex plot

I still think the characters were shallow. But it was so entertaining! Specially when the whole Nazi city thing started with all spying back and forth. I found myself cheering for the characters every time.

Another good adventure story in the Venus series. Not too much to say about it. Hero trying to save his damsel in distress. Burroughs does that story in about every book. But it's still good for an easy read.

2.5 stars, but rounding down, here. I might have been less bored if I hadn't read the first two books. more to come later.

Duare seems to have a knack for getting kidnapped and putting Carson into dangerous situations. This one is very episodic. Which is probably because the stories were originally released that way in magazine. Luckily ERB keeps it wild and fun, so you can keep coming back for more.
