An enlargement of "Teleportress of Alpha C" (Planet Stories, Winter 1954-55). Per Leigh Brackett article in www.sf-encyclopedia.com, the "main story" in this fix-up novel is Brackett's novella "The Ark of Mars C" (Planet Stories, September 1953.) The "Ark of Mars" segment forms the first part of the novel with minor edits. The "Teleportress of Alpha" segment had more substantial edits; it generally follows the original text, but with more additions and revisions.
