Fairly standard but well executed pulp planetary romance / space opera, with desert Mars, swampy Venus and our hero overcoming evil Earth industrialists and perhaps a bit of commentary on colonialism as well.

Altro racconto ambientato su di un Marte "lontano" e molto fantasy.
Storia banalotta, francamente niente di particolare.
