Black Amazon of Mars

Description

Working on the final requests of a friend, legionnaire Eric John Stark does the mission of sending back a thieved jewel to a city full of walls close to an alien post, a city protected by the shadowy Gates of Death. He must get through the vicious tribes of Mekh and the ethereal Lord Ciaran to go to Kushat where they will possibly try to slay him. All along he struggles to get a tight grip on a jewel that leaves a mark of antiquated memoirs of the Gates in his thoughts. That is difficult for a man brought up by Mercurian indigenes. Black Amazon of Mars is the 3rd volume to highlight Leigh’s lead character Eric John Stark, and was afterwards broadened into the fictional book People of the Talisman. It was first produced in Planet Stories magazine in March of 1951.
