Carson of Venus
''Carson of Venus'' is the third book in the Venus series (Sometimes called the "Carson Napier of Venus series") by Edgar Rice Burroughs. Burroughs wrote the novel in July and August 1937. It was serialized in 1938 in six weekly installments from January 8 to February 12 in ''Argosy'', the same publication where the previous two Venus novels appeared. It was published in book form a year later from Edgar Rice Burroughs, Inc. Burroughs originally submitted the novel to a number of the "slick" magazines: ''Liberty'', ''The Saturday Evening Post'', ''Collier's'', and ''Ladies' Home Journal''. All rejected the story.〔Hillman, Bill. "Edgar Rice Burroughs Timeline: 1930–1939." (ERBzine. )〕
The novel, which was written two years before the outbreak of World War II, satirizes Nazi Germany by including a fascist political faction called the "Zani." There is also a character named "Muso" as a reference to Benito Mussolini. Unlike the first two Venus novels, ''Carson of Venus'' focuses on spy intrigue and war instead of wilderness adventuring.〔Harvey, Ryan. ("Edgar Rice Burroughs's Venus, Part 3: ''Carson of Venus''". ) ''Black Gate''〕 It also indicates a change of political orientation from that of the earlier books, where the villains were modeled on Russian Communists.
''Carson of Venus'' was nominated for a Retro Hugo Award for best science fiction novel of 1939. The award went to T. H. White's The Sword in the Stone.
