About this listen
The Venusians had kidnapped Stanley Murdock, shown him around their underground base in the desert of New Mexico and told him of their plans to conquer Earth and make slaves of its populace. And then, having no use for him, released him.
It was the best joke ever according to the Venusian sense of humor, for who would believe him?
"The Vanguard of Venus" was available to readers through an advertisement in the September 1928 issue of "Amazing Stories" on page 557.
Landell Bartlett (1897-1972) was a Colorado-born accountant, editor, columnist, local historian, and poet. He published three science fiction stories and was said to have been a friend of Robert A. Heinlein. He was a member of the Colorado science fiction fan community up to at least the 1950s.
