Three Science Fiction Novellas By Leigh Brackett (Unabridged)

ENCHANTRESS OF VENUS: Laughing, she cast him down into the hideous depths, beneath the seas of flaming gas, to where dead blossoms swayed, whispering, over strangely jumbled ruins.... But there he found the secret of her power, and came surging back-up from the depths, up from the seas, the tortured swamps-to storm her forbidding shrine and seek her within, death like a gift in his hands. SHANNACH-THE LAST: Even in this grip of alien horror a man could not throw away his lifetime goal ...
not stand idly by as endless rows of alabaster shapes, seated in their chairs of stone, thought-ruled this gargoyle planet from the dead blackness of deep Mercurian caverns. THE VANISHING VENUSIANS: For years they had wandered the eternal seas of Venus, seeking the home that was their birthright, death walking in their wake. And now they were making their final bid-three of them fighting toward the promised land, battling for a hopeless cause.
