Book Description
================
Earth is a dead cinder beyond the dense clouds. On a terraformed Venus,
the land is ruled by savage plants and the even more savage beasts that
prey on them, while monsters out of nightmare swim though the globe-girdling
seas. Mankind huddles in domed underwater Keeps, living a purposeless
static existence - dedicated to pleasure but destined for oblivion later
if not sooner. Only the Free Companions, the mercenaries who fight proxy
wars for the Keeps, live on the surface of Venus. Their warships course
the seas, battling one another in struggles to decide victory or defeat
for one day, life or death for a few individuals. The Free companions
live till they die with the searing thrill of danger, and their deeds
bring excitement and color to the bored residents of the Keeps; but
Mankind is doomed unless something changes. Few are willing to risk
their lives for that change, battling both the terrifying environment
and the ruthless oligarchs for whom the status quo means a lifetime
of luxury. But there are a handful of courageous visionaries in the
Keeps and in the Free Companies where death is a way of life!
