Eventually, this is what will happen if you refuse to take up the offer of Prime.

“It was a new new experience for the young James T. Kirk but he gradually realised he liked it”. (The start of several thousand slash fictions.)

I don’t know what effect a Vulcan nerve pinch would have on a shin.

formerly published as “The Death-dealing Amazon”.

Quite apart from everything else, why does his uniform look like pajamas?

Back cover. Variant title. Real title ‘The Golden Amazon Returns.’ Part of the long ‘Golden Amazon’ series.

I guess the bottom fell out of the “pointy space rocket as signifier this book is science fiction” market some time in the 1970s?

They shouldn’t have mocked her short little legs when she was a child.
@fred: so she’s essentially Fantomas with boobs, in space?

Poor man’s just hanging out in his jammies and an immortal Amazon drags him away from his large model rocket and strangles him.
@THX: or if you don’t get Kindle Unlimited to read thousands of books of this quality or worse.
Also, please note the size of the rocket compared to the people. I guess it signifies tiny science fiction? Maybe it’s one of those climbing structures that were all the rage on 1960’s playgrounds.
@Francis: It was a wild Spring Break from Starfleet Academy for Cadet Kirk. He probably sent a letter to Space Penthouse about i. (The persons are opposite genders, so it’s not slash.)
@Bruce: I do hope that’s an accurate summation.
Also, we see again that feet are hard to draw. This artist had to put in a lot of yellow smoke, yet it still wasn’t enough to help with her build from the waist down. Shouldn’t Amazons be much more statuesque?
When did Harlequin go entirely romance?

That right hand isn’t winning any “Draughtsperson of the Week” citation from UAI either! 😉

Wikipedia indicates that Harlequin was a reprint operation originally, started republishing Mills & Boon reprints in 1953, and “by 1964” were exclusively republishing M&B. Harlequin apparently acquired M&B outright in 1971. So now you know, FWIW.
Some of Fearn’s stories (although not this one) are available on Faded Page Canada. Investigate at your own risk.

Someone reprinted this only 2 years ago!
Apparently she’s called “the golden Amazon” for being blonde, yet many of the book covers show her as brunette?
June 29th, 2019 at 8:49 am
@GSS ex-noob: perhaps they didn’t want to confuse pulp SF readers who would assume a blonde was one of the good guys?
July 1st, 2019 at 3:32 am
@Bruce: And you’d think she’d look even blonder with all that yellow going on. Must be for the reason you stated.

Not sure which one of you GSS veterans first pointed out the strange phenomenon of missing feet on cover art – now I haveta check every cover…
