Interplanetary Hunter

Read the classic, action-packed exploits of Gerry Carlyle, Interplanetary Huntress, on assignment from the London Interplanetary Zoo to capture the rarest alien lifeforms in the solar system – and "bring 'em back alive." Analog hailed them as, "Old-time space melodrama, pure entertainment and good fun." The only fly in the ointment of this intrepid woman is pilot Tommy Strike, who's just as determined to prove no woman is his superior. Their battles with the most fearsome of otherworldly critters are nothing compared to their battle with each other!Though Gerry's exploits were unavailable for sixty years, her impact was such that she was not forgotten. "Gerry Carlisle [is] an adventuress of the first water appearing in a string of adventures by Arthur K. Barnes in Thrilling Wonder Stories. She traveled to distant planets to collect exotic specimens to bring to Earth's zoos," say the editors of the "Femme Pulp's Crime-Fighting Heroines" website.Forty years earlier Fantastic Universe magazine when the only collection of her adventures was gathered in book form sci-fi critics and reviewers thought Gerry was a wow! Glamorous Gerry Carlyle returns in Arthur K. Barnes' Interplanetary Hunter based on the stories that first appeared in the late thirties," crowed Hans Stefan Santesson. "Gerry, backed by the resources of the London Interplanetary Zoo, travels from planet to planet trapping rare alien life forms and bringing them all back alive. Her voice is an ice-water jet, and she is in general a personality that is rather rare in a field where swashbucklers and people of action are so often space tough-guys."Go with Gerry Carlyle as she risks her life against 50 ft tall with prehensile, razor-edged, whip-like tongue used to wound or grab Human prey on Venus, mobile flame-burping Cacti on the dual world, and on Jupiter's fifth moon, haystacks that turnout to be fiendish slave-masters. To bring herself, her crew and the creatures themselves "back alive."
