Continuano, dopo il primo audiolibro del ciclo, "Pirati su Venere", le avventure di Carson Napier sul pianeta Venere. Un intenso susseguirsi di incontri e scontri con animali feroci e uomini più o meno evoluti ma altrettanto pericolosi e crudeli. Insieme a Duare, la bellissima principessa, il nostro eroe cercherà di ritrovare la strada verso il regno di Vepaja, tra mille difficoltà e pericoli. Precursore dei mondi distopici e delle saghe fantastiche, Burroughs si conferma un grande visionario, capace di muoversi a suo agio tra le creature mostruose che verranno riprese dai posteri.

Questo primo romanzo del "Ciclo di Venere", del 1934, opera meno famosa dell'autore di Tarzan si inserisce nel filone della costruzione di un mondo utopico/distopico, filone iniziato da H. G. Wells nella Macchina del Tempo nel 1902. In questo caso la società abita su Venere, pianeta che, a causa della fitta coltre di nubi, è stato sempre sconosciuto ai vari astronomi e scienziati, e ipotizzato come inadatto alla vita. Lo stesso autore ha scritto altri cicli di romanzi di fantascienza, come il "ciclo di Pellucidar" e il "ciclo di Marte".

Dies ist eine der seltsamsten, unheimlichsten und abenteuerlichsten Geschichten, die je im britischen Kolonialamt ihren Anfang nahmen. Das streng unter Verschluss gehaltene Tätigkeitsbuch des Amtes vom Jahr 1888 enthält darüber folgende Eintragung: "An einem geheim gehaltenen Tag startete John Clayton, Lord of Greystoke, in vertraulicher Mission nach Afrika. Er sollte Nachforschungen über gewisse Unruhen in einer Kolonie anstellen. Diskreten Hinweisen war zu entnehmen, dass eine befreundete europäische Macht die friedliche Entwicklung jener Kolonie stören wollte."

21 Jahre liegen zwischen dem Beginn zweier Dramen, die sich an der gleichen Stelle der afrikanischen Westküste abspielen. Waren im Jahr 1888 John Clayton, Lord of Greystoke, und seine Gattin Alice die Betroffenen, sind es diesmal fünf Menschen, die einer Katastrophe entgegensteuern. Unter ihnen auch William Cecil Clayton, der Neffe John Claytons.
