Synopsis
Mystery and Intrigue on the Waterways of the Planet Venus...
The Venus colony was settled and thriving, when suddenly all communication from Earth ceased. No messages. No transports. Nothing.
Insistent that science had lead their home into the depths of nuclear war, the colonists rejected technology, burning books, killing scientists, and hunkering down in the safety of a the newly formed Venusian theocracy of Beulah Land.
Only the city-state of Albany remained independent. Their machines were tolerated as a necessity--until airplanes, gunships, and weapons started patrolling the border. With war between the colonies imminent, Saint-in-Charge Adelie Dale and First Mate Whitley of Beulah Land's Richmond Queen must make heads-or-tails out of the hazardous Venusian politics... before a greater enemy obliterates them all!
