A man named Hugh Starke is on the run from the law when he crashes on Venus. The story is remarkable, and bears some resemblance to James Cameron’s Avatar. I must admit I’m a little more partial to Brackett than Bradbury, but that’s not to say he’s a bad author.
He wrote some pulp adventure work in the past, but made sure to write what the editors wanted in the 50’s and 60’s, offering works like the Martian Chronicles and Fahrenheit 451. Then, to follow suit, Ray Bradbury was a science fiction author who made the transition into the Campbell age with grace and dignity. She was a staple of science fiction in the early days of the genre. Of her work, I think I’ve only ever reviewed Black Amazon of Mars. It was later said that the original script was “discarded”, but her script remains online to this day and it bears great similarity to what was eventually shot on film. This short story version was well-known as a vehicle Brackett and Bradbury famously teamed up on, to produce one of the best-reviewed stories from the magazine.Īs a quick reminder, Leigh Brackett was the famous science fiction author who wrote the original Empire Strikes Back script as well as several fantastic stories.
