Description

On the mist‑shrouded world of Venus, where tangled swamps meet restless seas, a routine cargo run turns catastrophic when a meteorite slams into the ship’s jet room. The impact overloads the positronic accelerator, igniting a blaze that leaves a crew member dead and the vessel’s propulsion system on the brink of failure. Captain Reno and his crew scramble to replace the damaged accelerator, racing against a tightening countdown before the ship can safely resume its course.

Among the hurried hands is Barry Barr, an Earth‑born technician who has undergone a radical transformation to survive the alien environment. When the emergency suit must be vented into the hostile atmosphere to clear a stray piece of metal, he confronts the lethal Sigma radiation that haunts Venus’s skies. With the ship’s fate hanging in the balance, Barry’s skill and resolve become the thin line between disaster and a chance to uncover the planet’s hidden, enigmatic tribes.

About the author

EF

Erik Fennel

A pulp-era science fiction writer whose stories raced from Mars to Venus, he published a small but memorable run of planetary adventures in the late 1940s and 1950s. Much about his life seems to be unrecorded, which gives his work an extra air of old-magazine mystery.
