PLANET OF ADVENTURE by Jack Vance ; 1993 3rd printing

Contains the novels: 
ALL FOUR PLANET OF ADVENTURE NOVELS IN ONE VOLUME! 

Stranded on the distant planet Tschai, young Adam Reith is the sole survivor of a space mission who discovers the world inhabited-not only by warring alien cultures, but human slaves as well, taken early in Earth's history. Reith must find a way off planet to warn the Earth of Tschai's deadly existence.

Against a backdrop of baroque cities and haunted wastelands, sumptuous palaces and riotous inns, Reith will encounter deadly wastrels and murderous aliens, dastardly villains and conniving scoundrels.
And always the random beauty in need of rescue...
