Landing on a new planet is a danger every time, and Selm II is no exception.
The specialist didn't like it. There were no cities visable from space, no broadcasts or transmissions on the airwaves - yet the wrecked war machines of an advanced technology littered the rich pastures of the planet. Hundreds, perhaps thousands, of crumpled and gigantic weapons of war, a graveyard of destruction stretching almost to the lifeless horizon. But the war wasn't over...and they weren't all wrecks.
It's an emergency. It's a job for Brian Brand, the mightiest weightlifter in the galaxy. With the brilliant, sensuous Dr Lea Morees at his side he plunges into the war zone, into the steel jaws of...the Planet of No Return!
