“Gerry Carlisle [is] an adventuress of the first water appearing in a string of adventures by Arthur K. Barnes in Thrilling Wonder. She traveled to distant planets to collect exotic specimens to bring to Earth's zoos.”
“Femme Fatales: Pulp's Crime-Fighting Heroines” website
“This will take you back to the good old days of the middle years of S-F--the days of monsters and gimmicks. …The heyday of Gerry Carlyle, the fabulously gorgeous interplanetary hunter modeled with alterations after the glamour figure of the '30s, Frank Buck, this was sizzling stuff. Astonishingly, these stories are still surprisingly readable. If you like a huge collection of assorted BEMs and well-thought-out gimmicks in tight situations, you will assuredly go for this.”
Galaxy Science Fiction Magazine
“Glamorous Gerry Carlyle returns in Arthur K. Barnes' Interplanetary Huntress based on the stories that first appeared in the late thirties. Gerry, backed by the resources of the London Interplanetary Zoo, travels from planet to planet trapping rare alien life forms and bringing them all back alive. Her voice is an ice-water jet except when she realizes that Tommy Strike is a wonderful guy, and she is in general a personality that is rather rare in a field where swashbucklers and people of action are so often space-versions of Mike Hammer.
“The world of Gerry Carlyle is an interesting one, and not the, least so because of the strange lifeforms and intelligences that we meet in the course of her adventures. There are the Venusian Murri, grayish brown in color, whose large brown eyes are sad as they murmur, constantly, constantly, "Murri-Murri-Murri." There are the Gora, the starkly evil slavelaborers of Titan who one day would rule Saturn's strange satellite. And there are the Proteans, the strange and lonely intelligences who live on Almussen's comet. Recommended.”
Fantastic Universe Magazine
“Some of these tales detailing the adventures of pretty Gerry Carlyle and bold, brave (and ingenious) Tommy Strike, collectors for the London Interplanetary Zoo, date back to magazine stories of the '40s. But you'll find yourself getting interested in the strange flora and fauna of Venus, Jupiter, Neptune, Saturn, and Almussen's Comet--and between watching the intrepid pair capture or slaughter the BEMs, and then squabble among themselves, there's plenty of action for any deep-dyed thud-and-blunder fan.”
