Phantom Duel
by Ford McCormack
Publisher: Infinity Science Fiction 1955
Number of pages: 59
Description:

For its weather was insufferably hot, its topography fantastically tortuous, and its life-forms, both animal and vegetable, were of a general aspect that only a biologist could gaze on with fondness.
