When Vernia, empress of Reabon, mightiest land of all Venus, was kidnapped by the strange marauders of the sea, it presented the Earthman, Robert Grandon, with his greatest challenge. On a world replete with terrifying beasts and unearthly antagonists, Grandon had already achieved fame for his swordplay and courage, but the search for Vernia would take him against foes beyond all he had previously encountered. THE PORT OF PERIL, Otis Adelbert Kline's concluding novel of Venusian adventure, amply demonstrates his high skill with fast-action science-fiction.
Grandon embarks on a perilous search for a missing royal daughter and a port filled with pirates. This is the 3rd book in the Planet of Peril series.excerptExcerpt"Have you any idea where to look for this hidden port?" asked Grandon."We have no definite knowledge of its location, but the belief that it lies to the south has arisen from the fact that pirate fleets, leaving a scene of pillage, have almost invariably been observed to sail southward.""I believe my flyers can locate it," said Zinlo, toying with his kova cup."It's a big world," boomed the gruff Aardvan, "and it will take a deal of flying, sailing, and marching to explore it all.""Perhaps Mernerum will help us," suggested Ad."I take it," replied Grandon, "that you are unaware of the strained, or rather severed relations between Mernerum and Reabon. This morning I ordered diplomatic relations severed with Zanaloth of Mernerum, because of his affront to my wife when she passed through his dominions some time ago.""We can do well enough without that dissolute old rake," said Zinlo. "But we're keeping you from that honeymoon trip, Grandon. I understand that your expedition was ready to march when Ad and Aardvan arrived.""We'll give it up," Grandon assured them. "I'm sure Vernia won't mind for such, a worthy cause.""See here," Ad protested. "We don't want any such sacrifice. Allow us to take a few of your ships for the present, and perhaps some warriors and munitions in case a landing party is required. Go on your honeymoon. Later, when we've discovered the port of peril, we'll notify you, and let you in at the kill.""But your daughter has been stolen. Every man on this planet, worthy of the name, should be willing to assist in the search."
The second volume within this series presents more than fifty series characters within pulp fiction, selected to represent four popular story types from the 1907-1939 pulps--scientific detectives, occult and psychic investigators, jungle men, and adventurers in interplanetary romance. Some characters--Tarzan, John Carter of Mars, Craig Kennedy, Anthony (Buck) Rogers--became internationally known. Others are now almost forgotten, except by collectors and specialists.
