Description
When Robert Grandon swapped bodies with a prince of the planet Venus, he was concerned only with the thrill and interest of living on a different world. But the situation he found himself in was hardly that of a leisurely sightseer. Instead he found himself smack in the center of a whirlwind of intrigue, danger and desperation. PLANET OF PERIL is a science-fiction adventure on a world of semi-barbaric nations, ferocious beasts, gigantic reptiles and maidens in distress.Tags

Planet of Peril follows the story of Robert Grandon of Terra who finds himself on the planet Venus following a process which enables the subject to trade consciousness' with their counterparts on other worlds.
Venus is at a similar stage of evolution that Earth was at during the Carboniferous era - thus densely populated by Ferns, lichens, fungi and other greenery.
The humanoids range vastly from blood-sucking bat-men to cavern dwelling wretches with no eyes!
A technologically sophisticated race operate fleets of airships which are controlled by telekinesis, whilst more primitive humans find themselves enslaved by gigantic termites.
