About This Book

The narrative follows a publicity-driven expedition that attempts to stage human settlement on Venus to revive a transport company's fortunes. During promotion work a confrontational crewman provokes a large native while the captain, a publicity officer, and a skeptical colleague face the consequences of a bluff that risks the party's safety. As rescue efforts are sought and interpersonal tensions flare, the piece satirizes corporate promotional schemes and the absurdities of staging exotic spectacles amid genuine danger on an alien world.
