Venture Science Fiction brought together works of science fiction that were either unpublished in the UK or that were only issued in hardback format. The series was edited by Rog Peyton and Rod Milner and the cover illustrations were all sourced from the back-catalogue of Eddie Jones. The first nine books in the series were published by Hamlyn Paperbacks and the remainder by Arrow Books.

Books 1, 2, 4 and 6 were reissued in 1987 with modified covers. The modified covers are not included here but can be seen in this gallery.
