Looking for the Short Story 'Venus Rising'


"How to Steal a Million" is based on a short story entitled "Venus Rising" by George Bradshaw. Does anyone know where "Venus Rising" can be found?

reply

Try searching on abebooks.com it is a rare and used books search engine. I got somethin like 146 results.

Unfortunately, none of those are for the "Venus Rising" that "How to Steal a Million" is based on, they're mostly sci-fi or erotic books with the same title :-). I think that the "Venus Rising" in question (by George Bradshaw) may be a short story that was collected somewhere but not published as a stand-alone novel.

The book the short story is in is called, Practice to Decieve

is another link to buy it. And as for ABE when I checked I didn't get any Sci-Fi or erotica, I just got cookbooks, lots and lots of cookbooks.
