Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Publicity Stunt" by Robert Moore Williams is a science fiction novel written in the early 1950s. The book revolves around the adventure of a group of humans sent to Venus to promote colonization of the planet through a publicity campaign. Their mission quickly turns chaotic after they accidentally land in the sacred dancing ground of a powerful Venusian named Shad Brisbee, leading to tension and potential conflict with the native species. The story follows the protagonist, Sam Crane, along with his companions, Captain Wilkerson, Molock, and Rita Morgan, as they navigate the challenges posed by the six-eyed Venusians. Molock's bold and reckless behavior escalates the situation, forcing him into a dance duel against Shad to secure their safety. Their antics showcase a blend of humor and danger as they struggle to survive and fulfill their mission under the looming threat of the Venusians, who take their cultural customs very seriously. Ultimately, the book concludes with a surprising twist, blending adventure and commentary on the consequences of misguided promotional efforts.
