Book description
Lost on Venus: A Doorway to Delightful Disaster
Edgar Rice Burroughs serves up another interplanetary helping of spectacular nonsense with "Lost on Venus," and frankly, it's gloriously absurd.
Our hero Carson Napier finds himself in what can only be described as the universe's most inconvenient waiting room - the Room of the Seven Doors. Six doors mean certain doom, one means survival, and no handy labels to tell them apart. It's like choosing a streaming service subscription, but with higher stakes and fewer customer reviews.
What follows is Napier's relentless pursuit of Venus's "fairest princess," a quest so single-minded it makes obsessive-compulsive behavior look casual. The man literally cannot take a hint when the princess clearly wants nothing to do with him, her people want to execute him, and logic suggests he should probably try his luck back on Earth where the dating pool is less likely to involve capital punishment.
Burroughs delivers exactly what you'd expect: swashbuckling adventure mixed with enough romantic stubbornness to make modern rom-coms weep with inadequacy. The audiobook format works surprisingly well here, letting listeners fully appreciate the delicious ridiculousness of Napier's predicaments without having to visually process some of the more creatively terrible fates awaiting behind those six deadly doors.
It's pure pulp fiction entertainment - the literary equivalent of a roller coaster that occasionally derails but somehow keeps you smiling anyway.
