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.

Autorenporträt
Edgar Rice Burroughs (1875 - 1950) was an American writer best known for his creations of the jungle hero Tarzan and the heroic Mars adventurer John Carter, although he produced works in many genres. Burroughs was in his late 60s and was in Honolulu at the time of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. Despite his age, he applied for and received permission to become a war correspondent, becoming one of the oldest U.S. war correspondents during World War II. This period of his life is mentioned in William Brinkley's bestselling novel Don't Go Near the Water.
