Stranded on the distant planet Tschai, young Adam Reith is the sole survivor of a space mission who discovers the world is inhabited--not only by warring alien cultures, but human slaves as well, taken early in Earth's history. Reith must find a way off planet to warn the Earth of Tschai's deadly existence.

Against a backdrop of baroque cities and haunted wastelands, sumptuous palaces and riotous inns, Reith will encounter deadly wastrels and murderous aliens, dastardly villains and conniving scoundrels.

And always the random beauty in need of rescue...

Weigh Up Regarding Books Planet of Adventure (Planet of Adventure #1-4)

hello again Mr. Amazing! it's been a while since I've been in your company. I think not since way back in the summer of '89 when I was house-sitting for a friend's parents. parents who shouldn't have left a 19-year-old alone with so much booze and two highly-prized frozen pheasants hidden deep within the garage freezer's depths. that's when our love affair began. as soon as I cracked open your pages, I was mesmerized. at least two, three, probably more days went by as I began an obsessive quest

Since this is a four part omnibus edition I am going to take a break after each part, breaking down my review accordingly."City of the Chasch" - An enjoyable read...this feels like Vance doing his version of Edgar Rice Burroughs' A Princess of Mars. Reith is the equivalent of John Carter, unwillingly stranded on an alien planet and gets inexorably swept up in the local troubles as his sense of justice leads him to intervene time and again to right the wrongs he sees about him. That said, Vance

Elevator pitch: Dude crashes on planet and has adventures (and by "adventures" I mean, learns about fictional cultural things).I know, I know... you'd think I'd have enjoyed this more because I really like the John Carter stories and Conan and such. But it's kind of how I felt about trying to read Ringworld... it just doesn't age well. And I want much more out the genre that the classics just don't have. John Carter and Conan are so wildly out there that they enter the realm of mythology and so

In the classic pulp plot, stranded man becomes hero, leads fight against increasing dangerous enemy alien races, and gets the girl. Gabble-gook is light, mostly comprehensible, confusing with so many races. Humor cranks the rating higher. The outlook is original Star Trek - we enforce peace on the universe. With opposite new friends, taciturn dark stocky Traz and garrulous pale tall Anacho, Reith breaks each alien race apart from their associated imitative "men", and overcomes more villainous

Ahhh, Jack Vance's world(s) ... I've been away too long. This one is a bit more of the fantasy realm than my previous read, "The Demon Princes," but is also a collection of several short novels in a series. In this case it's four novels, while "The Demon Princes" is five(I think). Here the setting a planet with multiple alien races and a confusing history - I'm sure Mr. V. will get to that at some point. The origin stories the locals give out when asked are amusingly nutty(unscientific to say

This tetralogy of short science fiction novels is also one continuous story, nowadays published as a single-volume omnibus. The name is apt: the structure is a nearly classical adventure story in the Robinson Crusoe tradition. The hero, Adam Reith, is a scout on a mission investigating a radio signal that had apparently been beamed towards earth from the star Carina 4269 some two hundred years before. Just as his ship has arrived at the planet Tschai and Reith's scout craft is detached to land,

The Planet of Adventure is an omnibus of four Jack Vance science fiction novels. These four novels constitute The Planet of Adventure series. Each of the four novels in the Planet of Adventure series involve the story of Adam Reith who is marooned on the planet Tschai where four major, intelligent civilizations exist, each ruled by a different species and an enemy of the others. They are the Chasch, the Wankh, the Dirdir and the Pnume. Each of these considers itself superior to others and has
