Abstract:
The editors of this themed anthology of original stories asked contributors to set their tales on the Venus of SF's Golden Age, when we didn't know much about our neighboring planets and could imagine a landscape where humanity might one day come calling. The range of authors included here means that there will be something for every SF fan.
