SKIES OF VENUS A Novel of Amtor

Wild Adventures of Edgar Rice Burroughs series. This new novel transports readers back to the mysterious, shrouded world of Amtor that was discovered by Carson Napier in Edgar Rice Burroughs’ classic novel Pirates of Venus, but this time to experience it through the eyes of an Earthman of the twenty-first century. Virgil Erath is on death row for a crime he didn’t commit. But he gets a new beginning when he is mystically transported Venus. This is a planet of hallucinatory landscapes, warring humanoid races, and a cloud-filled sky that has never seen the sun. Its inhabitants of this world call it Amtor. Captured by a clan of winged warriors, Virgil is brought before the great Jong Kum Kloojong. But this “king of kings” is under attack by a deadly terrorist sect, and Virgil may be his only hope of saving Amtor from an apocalyptic war. Skies of Venus: A Novel of Amtor by Neal Romanek features cover art by Richard Hescox and interior illustrations by Douglas Klauba. Includes a multi-page dictionary. In this series, today’s authors innovate and expand upon Burroughs’ classic tales of wonder in truly wild fashion, even moving his characters and storylines outside the bounds of canon to alternate universes!
