Review
This fourth story by Starzl is the best one so far. It reminds me a lot of both the planetary trips on Venus and Mars by Weinbaum and of the dealy jungle of Deathworld by Harrison. It still is pretty simple with shallow characters, but the rich imagination of the alien jungle life makes this story very enjoyable.
