    About this ebook

    Leigh Brackett may be best known for her screenplay for "The Empire Strikes Back," but her lush tales of interplanetary adventures were thrilling readers long before "Star Wars." Collected here are the short novel "Black Amazon of Mars" (the final magazine appearance of her hero, Eric John Stark), as well as "A World Is Born" and "Child of the Sun."

      A pretty good story, great looking book. "People of the Talisman" is a rewrite of this story, similar beginning, totally different ending.
    • 2/5
      Ah, the old pulps. :-) We have our Mighty Hero who binds himself by a promise to a dying friend, and then dares all and endures all in fulfillment of it (and to save his world as he knows it). Plus a pretty love interest to keep us occupied until the real love interest is revealed (and to be sad and wise about him near the end). The eponymous 'Amazon' is pretty cool but it's probably no real spoiler that it's Our Mighty Hero who wins the day.
