About this title

About the Author:

Pamela Sargent (born March 20, 1948) is an American, feminist, science fiction author, and editor. She has an MA in classical philosophy and has won a Nebula Award. She wrote a series concerning the terraforming of Venus that is sometimes compared to Kim Stanley Robinson's Mars trilogy, but predates it. She also edited various anthologies to celebrate the contributions of women in the history of science fiction. She is noted for writing alternate history stories. Sargent has attempted work with a wide variety of themes in general, if not always successfully. She also collaborated with George Zebrowski and on numerous Star Trek novels.

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
