Nocturne

They need organic matter for their replicators and plants for their hydroponics, so they harvest some of it. Big mistake!
The Carson of Venus MEGAPACK®
Carson Napier, first Earthman to reach Venus, had to keep alert every instant of his stay on that world of mist and mystery. For its lands were unmapped, its inhabitants many, varied, and strange, and he had taken an obligation to restore a native princess to her lost homeland… This volume collects the entire “Venus” series by Edgar Rice Burroughs. Burroughs (1875-1950) is most famous for his jungle hero, Tarzan, but he created many other series in the science-fantasy and adventure fields. John Carter’s adventures on Mars are probably the best known of his interplanetary romances, but Carson of Venus runs a close second. This volume collects all 5 Venus tales. Included are:
