Pamela Sargent is the author of several highly praised and prize-winning novels, among them The Shore of Women, Cloned Lives, The Sudden Star, The Golden Space, Watchstar, The Alien Upstairs, and Alien Child. Venus of Dreams, which we are proud to offer to you today, was selected by The Easton Press for its “Masterpieces of Science Fiction” series. And of course you’ll want to read Venus of Shadows, the sequel. Gregory Benford described the former as “One of the peaks of recent science fiction.” And James Morrow characterized the sequel as “a masterly piece of world-building.” The third novel in the Venus trilogy, Child of Venus, is making its way to publication on this site.
In Venus of Dreams, a determined and independent woman is determined to make the poison-filled atmosphere of Venus hospitable to humans. As impossible as it may seem she succeeds, supported by only one other soul, and founds a might dynasty.
Read Venus of Dreams and its sequel, and several other compelling and powerful Sargent E-Reads titles as well. Another related pair of her books, Watchstar and its sequel Eye of the Comet, will be completed by Homesmind. Watch this space for news that the trilogy is united once again.
