QR code
"Venus Has Green Eyes" by Carl Selwyn is a science fiction novel likely written in the mid-20th century, around the time of pulp fiction's popularity. The story unfolds on the misty, hostile planet of Venus and involves a bold Earthling named Flip Miller who finds himself embroiled with a dangerous Venusian pirate queen, Captain Vixen. The narrative explores themes of adventure and resilience, as well as the intertwining of intense emotions amid
dire circumstances. The plot follows Flip Miller, ex-prospector and self-proclaimed adventurer, who is trapped in the depths of Venus' murky Black Swamp while searching for a valuable xanite mine. Flip's drunken escapades lead him into trouble with Captain Vixen, the ruthless queen of the Venusian underworld, who seeks the map to the mine under threat of violence. As Flip and his companion Charlie Mead face the wrath of Vixen's gang, Flip's quick thinking and reckless bravado result in a tumultuous chain of encounters filled with danger, intrigue, and unexpected romantic tension. The stakes rise as the true value of the mine comes to light, ultimately forcing Flip to confront not only Vixen’s intentions but also their shared humanity, culminating in a clash between two wills against the backdrop of a hostile planet.
