Synopsis
Two humans beat their way through the peculiar—and perilous—Venusian jungle.
History
First publication: Astounding, February 1935
Review
Again we have explorers who have to cross the dangerous wilds of another planet, this time Venus. But this story, unlike other Weinbaum stories, has your typical damsel in distress. Still, the imaginative Venus flora and fauna are among Weinbaum’s best and this story sort of reminds me of Harry Harrison’s Deathworld. Recommended to the lover of Weinbaum and 30s SF.
