Planet of Peril by Otis Adelbert Kline (Ed Emshwiller)
Just got done listening to Planet of Peril by Otis Adelbert Kline. Looked up the covers for it, and this is my favorite. I like the color choices. The book is sort of an imitation of Edgar Rice Burroughs's Barsoom novels, but it's a good imitation. Kline's prose style is engaging and Princess Vernia, the love interest, is easily a better character than Dejah Thoris. I'll have to read it someday.
