Product Description

From Library Journal

As the meteoric rise of the Cult of Ishtar casts an ominous shadow over the divided factions dedicated to the terraforming of Venus's surface, the descendants of martyred heroine Iris Angharads find themselves torn by their own conflicting loyalties. Continuing the story begun in Venus of Dreams , this multigenerational saga explores the social drama of planetary colonization and its implications for humankind. Recommended. JC

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Reading - Pamela Does It Again! Mar 27 2000
By Aubrey
Format:Hardcover
Venus of Shadows is the second book of the Venus Series. This book goes further than just science-fiction and transforming Venus into a habitable world. It deals with many situations and obstacles that ordinary people deal with each day, proving that wherever mankind goes, his age-old problems will always follow him. The story is extremely well written, highly interesting and will captivate the reader. I've been waiting a long time for the next novel to be published and I'm very excited that it will be out soon!

5.0 out of 5 stars A rich, engrossing hard-sf *and* sociological adventure. Jan 23 1999
By A Customer
Format:Mass Market Paperback
I re-read this book about the colonization of Venus, the high hopes and hard trials of the colonists, and the obstacles laid on their pathsnot only by Nature but by human evil as well, in one night after having read it the first time long ago. It has stayed with me. It is even better than the first one in the series. It's so believable in its depiction of the wonder and tragedy of the settling of a difficult world and the founding of a new society that's almost scaring. Its characters are believable human beings with no black villains or pure-white heroes, their life and their society feel so significant that I lost track of the fact that they were fictional people living on a fictionalized world. I am eagerly waiting for Ms. Sargent to write the sequel.
