the Science Fiction Book Club published all six novels as a collection in a single volume, under the title The Complete Adventures of Lucky Starr. The British first editions of all six novels omit the prefix altogether, being titled Space Ranger, Oceans of Venus, etc. A later British paperback edition of the 1970s, published by NEL (in the New English Library series), restored the original titles – but in numbering them from 1 to 6, on the covers, in fact published them in the wrong order. The first book was translated into French in 1954 under the title Sur la planète rouge ("On the Red Planet") with the original pseudonym, Paul French. It was published in the "Anticipation" science fiction imprint of Fleuve noir. It was later adapted as a French comic book twice, in 1975 and 1992. Three books were also published in Dutch. Titles were, in order of the original American series: Een man alleen (orig. David Starr, Space Ranger), 1977 Piraten van de asteroïden (Lucky Starr and the Pirates of the Asteroids), 1978 De grote zon van Mercurius (Lucky Starr and the Big Sun of Mercury), 1978 Omnibus and collected editions: Science Fiction Book club (6 in 1) Bantam (first two novels) Science content Asimov carefully introduced astronomical and physical concepts which the scientific knowledge of the time supported. In later editions, he added a preface pointing out that new scientific discoveries have rendered some locations and concepts obsolete: Mercury does not present only one side to the Sun, and Venus is not covered by a global ocean, for example.
