Synopsis

​Carson of Venus: The Edge of All Worlds (Edgar Rice Burroughs Universe Series – A Novel of the Swords of Eternity Super-Arc) by Matt Betts

Stranded on the planet Venus, known as Amtor to its inhabitants, Earthman Carson Napier has faced countless perils to win the hand of the courageous Duare, his beloved princess, and to be bestowed with high honors and the title of prince in the powerful nation of Korva. But when a new threat strikes from out of the skies, Carson discovers his own arrival on the planet years ago may have unknowingly led the mysterious enemy to attack.
 
Following a trail of destruction and death, Carson, Duare, and their friends set off across wild Amtor to track down the lethal adversary. Their journey leads them headlong into battle with the Linneauns, an ancient, seemingly indestructible race dating to the dawn of the planet. But that is not Carson’s only challenge. For even as he takes on these daunting foes, an uncanny phenomenon has entangled him with two strange individuals from beyond spacetime and threatens to drive him mad. Will Carson be able to solve the mysteries of his past and the enigmatic visitors, and then defeat the terrifying menace—or will the nations of Amtor be crushed beneath the Linneauns’ heel?
 
Includes “Pellucidar: Dark of the Sun” by Christopher Paul Carey, an all-new bonus novelette introducing the Edgar Rice Burroughs Universe’s newest heroine, Victory Harben!

Things had been relatively quite on Amtor - known to us here on Earth as Venus. There still are the petty squabbles and clashes between kingdoms...and it will never be safe to wander the planet alone and unarmed...but, for the most part, the arrival of Carson Napier and his subsequent adventures hav......more

Goodreads review by Frank

The Venus series is one of my favorite scifi/sword and planet series, in many ways more than the legendary Barsoom tales of John Carter and co. I discovered Edgar Rice Burroughs Venus series by pure chance, having missed it while I was younger to my great regret. I found the world exciting, fascinat......more
