Return of the Monster Men (Edgar Rice Burroughs Universe)

Thirteen months after their horrifying experiences in the East Indies, Bulan-the man once known as Townsend J. Harper, Jr.-and his fiancée Virginia return the isle of terror where their adventures began. In their hearts lies a burning question: What truly happened to Number Thirteen, the soulless monster unleashed from Professor Maxon's vats? But they are little prepared for the answer, or to confront the shadowy faction of a foreign power that has seized the island hoping to unearth its dread secrets for nefarious purposes. And when a new brood of monsters emerges from the vats and is let loose upon the island, no one is safe...for Number Thirteen is alive and well, and he is angry-as are his terrifying, monstrous kin, who seek vengeance for their own unholy creation.

Includes the Bonus Novelette "Weird Worlds: Dead on Venus" by Mike Wolfer

Unable to return to Earth, the crew of the fantastic airship Favonia finds themselves thrust into a life-or-death battle for survival in the storm-drenched jungles of the planet Amtor...also known as Venus! Trapped within an ancient fortress, the only hope for Captain Douglas Conover and two of his shipmates lies in their new Amtorian ally, Carson Napier. But how can the Earthly heroes and a squad of Amtorian warriors hope to prevail against the attacking horde of zombie soldiers intent on their destruction?

ENTER THE EDGAR RICE BURROUGHS UNIVERSE

A century before the term "crossover" became a buzzword in popular culture, Edgar Rice Burroughs created the first expansive, fully cohesive literary universe. Coexisting in this vast cosmos was a pantheon of immortal heroes and heroines-Tarzan of the Apes, Jane Porter, John Carter, Dejah Thoris, Carson Napier, and David Innes being only the best known among them. In Burroughs' 80-plus novels, their epic adventures transported them to the strange and exotic worlds of Barsoom, Amtor, Pellucidar, Caspak, and Va-nah, as well as the lost civilizations of Earth and even realms Beyond the Farthest Star. Now the Edgar Rice Burroughs Universe expands in an all-new series of canonical tales written by today's talented authors!
