ISBN:

This thrilling volume brings together two classic adventure tales from the imagination of Edgar Rice Burroughs—The Wizard of Venus, a science fiction novella set on a mysterious alien world, and Pirate Blood, a swashbuckling story of destiny and defiance, presented here in its first publication.

The Wizard of Venus

Originally intended as the opening to a new series of Venus novels, this final tale featuring Carson Napier plunges readers into a suspenseful, otherworldly mystery. When Carson arrives in a strange region of Venus, he encounters a tyrannical “wizard” who uses psychic powers to control an entire society. As Carson uncovers the truth behind the wizard’s rule, he must battle both superstition and science to survive. Burroughs blends action, humor, and planetary romance in this short but vivid adventure.

Pirate Blood (First Publication)

Appearing in print for the very first time in this edition, Pirate Blood follows the story of Johnny LaFitte, a modern man descended from pirates who finds himself pulled—both figuratively and literally—into a life of high-seas crime. Is criminality in his blood, or can he forge his own fate? A fast-paced tale of identity, nature versus nurture, and good old-fashioned piracy, this standalone story showcases Burroughs’ flair for exotic settings and moral dilemmas.
