Chapter I – Ahrian Chapter II – Stranger on Earth Chapter III – Gifts of Love Chapter IV – Star Dreams Chapter V – About Altair Chapter VI – The Last Magic The Stellar Legion (1940) – No one had ever escaped from Venus’ dread Stellar Legion. And as Thekla the low-Martian learned, no one had ever betrayed it——and lived The Last Days of Shandakor (1952) – An Earthman finds love and tragedy in a long-dead city of ancient Mars that denies death. A novelette in six chapters.
