Reading Room MANHUNTER 2070 "Planet of Death" Conclusion

...commissioned to bring in a trio of space pirates, bounty hunter Starker tracked them to Pheidos, a world where practically everything, plant or animal, is trying to eat everything else, making it the perfect hideout world!
With one of the criminals devoured by carnivorous insects, Starker continues his assignment...
