| Summary | "Venus Enslaved" by Manly Wade Wellman is a science fiction novel written in the early 1940s. The story revolves around a castaway Earthman named Planter who, along with two convicts, is thrust into a perilous adventure on the mysterious planet Venus. As they navigate the strange and dangerous environment, they encounter a society of Amazons and face off against the oppressive Frogmasters of the Veiled Planet, setting the stage for a narrative rich in conflict and exploration. The opening of "Venus Enslaved" introduces the protagonist, Planter, who is aboard a spaceship en route to Venus alongside Disbro and Max, two fellow convicts. As they hurtle towards their destination, the characters are established through their personalities and backgrounds—Planter's contemplations about his past, Disbro's commanding presence, and Max's surprising strength despite his mental challenges. Upon landing, the story quickly escalates into action when Planter encounters a dangerous tentacled creature, only to be saved by a beautiful Amazon named Mara. Through this encounter, the complexities of life on Venus unfold, hinting at both the beauty and brutality that awaits them. The stage is set for a tale of survival, unexpected alliances, and the struggle against tyranny. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
