THE VENUS TRAP




1/ Trouble On Venus



LIFEтАФraw, primordialтАФteemed on the young world: on its land, beneath its seas and in its air.
Prehistoric life forms, not dissimilar to those which once flourished on distant, early EarthтАФvicious,
voracious butтАж Venusian.

Venus, тАШthe evening star,тАЩ second from the sun, a hothouse of horrendous creatures: airborne,
landlubbing, oceanic.

Three Terranians found themselves on the surface of a Venusian sea: Perry Rhodan, John Marshall and
Son Okura. Rhodan, the leader; Marshall, the esper, reader of minds; Okura the emfer, perceptor of
electromagnetic frequency wavelengths.

minute life forms that it acted like a colloidal solution.

The boat ploughed steadily through the impeding waves which were the last reminder of the terrible
twilight storm that had swept over the flatland and the 200-mile-wide ocean channel more than eight
hours before.

The sturdy little generator hummed monotonously, threatening to hypnotise heavy eyelids, lull weary men

day they hadnтАЩt dared a wink. It had been difficult to stay awake in the darkness, especially for Perry
with an unhealed wound paining his shoulder.

Perry Rhodan, President of the New Power, had come to Venus with the intention of restoring order
once again but, due to a chain of calamitous circumstances, had been cast with two companions almost
helplessly into the wilderness.
 At the present time he was far from achieving his goal. There were still 180 miles of water to be crossed
