SPOILERS FOR PROMETHEUS!

And I thought that clamping your tyres was a ridiculous punishment. Steve Greenjeans there is about to have his rocket ship buzz-sawed for parking in a no-solid-chemical-booster zone.

Mariner 2 flew past Venus on 14th of December 1962 measuring its surface temperature at 511K to 590K so this book was obsolete on publication.

He never saw that coming.

This review makes it sound like a very pedestrian novel. And he looks like a very pedestrian spaceman.
Battle on Venus is another forgettable Ace Double entry. I didn’t have high hopes for it, just a fun adventure yarn of Venusian conflict, but it still managed to fall short. It’s a very standard, very predictable, very by-the-numbers novel. At times it’s so over the top as to be comic without managing to be funny or engaging. I don’t have much more to say about the book because there’s not a whole lot there, and what is there is pretty slapdash.

Looks like Mars is lording it over Venus in this photo.

Venus got BIG pizza.

@ Ray P.: I think they also knew that Venus wasn’t a star by then. At least, I hope so.

Turn left left and hit it with Magnum!

It doesn’t look very much like Venus. For starters, his body is shaped like a normal human’s.

He’s running away from a giant pizza cutter/buzzsaw in a straight line . . . I have nothing else to say.
July 26th, 2016 at 6:28 pm
Is he running or has his shoe got stuck? It barely matters, the giant CD will pass by him a yard to his left.
July 26th, 2016 at 6:36 pm
@Tat: in a risky but shrewd defensive manoevre, our hero disrobes completely and thrusts his buttocks against the pizza cutter!

@DSWBT—a novel use of the idea of “Occam’s Razor.”
July 26th, 2016 at 9:05 pm
@B. Chiclitz – More like “Occam’s Power Saw”

The early versions of the new Segway unicycle had a few teething problems.

Font problems? What font problems? Don’t you know a title lifted from Lost in Space when you see it?
