Day again - one hundred and seventy dragging hours of throttling, humid heat. An interminable period of monotony lived in the eternal mists, swirling with sluggish dankness, enervating, miasmatic, pulsant with the secret whisperings of mephitic life-forms. This is your introduction to Venus with its fantastic, alien flora and fauna. This is also your introduction to the bring-em-back-alive people of the future. Gerry Carlyle and Tommy Strike, with the crew of The Ark, work for the London Interplanetary Zoo, traveling from planet to planet, trapping the alien life-forms and bringing them back alive.

Super Reader,
By Blue Tyson "- Research Finished" (Legion clubhouse) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Interplanetary Hunter (Mass Market Paperback)
A collection of the first three Interplanetary Huntress adventures.Hothouse Planet Dual World Satellite Five When Gerry Carlyle goes to Venus on a hunt, Tommy Strike ends up going with her. She is no-nonsense, used to being in charge and being the boss. However, Tommy knows more than a thing or two about interplanetary wildlife himself, some of which Gerry doesn't. That, and different operating methodology causes some friction. 3.5 out of 5 "That man of mine," said Gerry Carlyle. "He's gotten himself into a jam, I fear." He has done, too. Tommy has gone to do a bit of exploring of the Venusian Lost Continent, ignoring some normal procedure, and looking to make some money on the side. His ideas for getting themselves out of the situation aren't instilling too much confidence in Gerry's aide that is unlucky enough to be stuck with him. Luckily, the Huntress herself is on the ball, and he deserves the abuse he gets. 3.5 out of 5 Tommy is none too happy that the paralysis ray Gerry wants used on the monster laying waste to those that go to Satellite Five is tested on him! Off he goes, nonetheless. Gerry then finds out some information, and she is not averse to a bit of the old phone book and fall down the stairs type of police work to get it. Hooking up with a hotshot French pilot, she is off to Satellite Five. Tommy is holding his own, but she fails to believe that as well as asexual production, the creature adapts to weapons used against it in previous generations. 3.5 out of 5
