In "Invaders of Venus," Captain Defi and his crew land on the mysterious planet Venus, where they encounter Princess Neo and her people. When Mars triggers a mutiny among the crew, only old Sam and cabin boy Dave remain loyal, forcing Defi to confront the chaos as Princess Neo uses the planet’s strange plants to outwit the invaders.

In the scorched rim of Venus, a mining town falls to the Vormants, but help arrives in the form of pilot Gale and her squadron. Joined by young Lief, son of the mine’s discoverer, they uncover a betrayal from within—foreman Jed, accused of orchestrating the raid. With cunning and a surprising weapon in the form of sugar, Lief turns the tide, but the true cost of victory remains unspoken.

In the 33rd century, Earth lies abandoned after war and plague, leaving only the lone archer Hunt Bowman as a survivor. Captured by the alien Iqor and imprisoned with Lyssa, the two escape aboard a Volta ship that crashes on Lyssa’s forgotten world. When Lyssa’s fearful subject Basil turns against them, plotting to sacrifice Hunt and Lyssa to the monstrous Spirax, Hunt must prove his worth with a single arrow—and a courage that defies both fear and fate.

In "The Plague of Locust-Men," Flint Baker and Mimi are dispatched to stop the ruthless Milky Way guerrilla chief Axtur and his insectoid forces from overrunning a Saturn defense outpost. With betrayal from within, the duo is captured, only to find themselves aboard Flint’s own ship—now commandeered by Axtur for a deadly assault.
