Martian Quest: The Early Brackett | 
so-soThis is a collection of short stories by Leigh Brackett - Moorcook supplies the intro, in which he explains how her immense contribution to the development of science fiction has been overlooked. Oh the irony.
Stories tend to feature men saving the day with the power of basic scientific knowledge, winning a home / the love of a woman in the process. The setting tends to be various planets with indigenous populations and magic-technology.
so-so"No Man's Land in Space" by Leigh Brackett. Solar System #5 (The Asteroid Belt, 1941)

so-so"Interplanetary Reporter"
Leigh Brackett's Solar System #3 (1941, short story, Venus)
Will the reviled journalist get footage of an attack on Venus?
Better than the first two. Knowing it was written during WW2 makes it more interesting.

so-so"The Demons of Darkside"
Leigh Brackett's Solar System #2 (Short Story, 1941, Mercury)
Will the main character track the witness through Darkside and save his beloved from a wrongful murder conviction?
Better than the first short story. Definitely set in the same universe.
