3.0 AVERAGE


Mildly enjoyable pulp, but such an unabashed ripoff of Burroughs' John Carter series that I felt my time may have been better served just reading the John Carter stories again. In fact, I'm hard-pressed to think of a single memorable moment in Planet of Peril that wasn't duplicated somewhere in the Burroughs tales. Still, I bought it to read some sword-and-planet pulp, and it delivered, so I can't say I was cheated.
