The Venus Germ by R.F. Starzl (w/F. Pragnell):
Science Fiction Inventions, Technology and Ideas
"Mr. Starzl returns to our pages as a collaborator in this powerful and gripping story of an inter* planetary intrigue, with the fate of worlds as pawns.
Just as today powerful interests use races and nations as pawns in their game of power, so in the future their ambitions will extend to the wider sphere of interplanetary dimensions. Suppose, for example, that it were necessary for the life and happiness of all the people of the earth that a few powerful interests give up their domination of other worlds. Would they be philanthropic and do it; or would a merry battle be necessary before right and justice had its way?
Our authors answer in this unusual tale of two worlds."
