Venus of ShadowsDescriptionThe Venus Project: an endeavor breathtaking in its scope and awesome in its possibilities. Only a few have the skills, the courage, and the vision to join, but those few have been given the opportunity never before offered to humanity: the chance to carve a green and growing world out of the hellish wilderness that is Venus.The first story of the Venus Project was told in Pamela Sargent's acclaimed Venus of Dreams. There we met Iris Angharads, strong-willed woman of the Plains, who was given the chance to live out her dream on the Project. She left behind a legacy of passion, purpose, and patriotism. Now, a generation later, her children, Risa and Benzi, must find their own way in a world that demands much--perhaps too much--of them. Caught up in a maelstrom of political and cultural unrest, they find themselves on opposite sides of battle lines drawn up by forces they only dimly understand. Caught at the hub of history, their actions can spell the difference between a living Venus and a dying dream. Spanning four generations, their story is a masterfully woven tapestry of love and hate, triumph and tragedy, one which will transform not only the barren face of a lifeless planet, but the course of human history as well. Join with them as they stand on the edge of destiny. -- from the book jacket. | |
