Synopsis
Idealistic young American scientist Grant Archer joins a clandestine expedition to this awesome new world. But Grant does not share the ideals of the scientists he accompanies: he has been planted on their expedition by the New Morality, a religious group that wants to ferret what the 'godless humanists' have discovered. His mission: to reassure the new religious leaders of Earth that Jupiter holds no intelligent life.But unknown to the New Morality, Grant, though the son of a minister, is both a believer and a man who sees no reason why science and faith can not co-exist. He has come to the vast, planet-girdling ocean of Jupiter with an open mind, and he is about to tell his masters something that may shatter their conviction.

Review
Moonwar'What happens to Moonbase and its inhabitants is as exciting as the future that could be ours.' Tampa Tribune and Times Moonrise'Heady oxygen is breathed into old bones as Bova colonises the moon.' Scotland on Sunday'Bova's picture of life on the moon is highly believable.' Publishers Weekly Brothers'Plenty of excitement . . . an effective mix of science, politics and family struggle.' Kirkus Reviews A tense and totally believable novel by an internationally acknowledged SF master. * Publishing News * Fun, thought-provoking, pacy and stylish . . . Gives a good read while turning your eyes to what might be in the not so distant future, just like Clarke and Asmov used to do so well. * SFX (Venus) * Death Dream'The prophetic vision of one of the world's great masters of the genre of science fiction.' Books Mars'A splendid book . . of his many books, Mars must be the most important.' Arthur C. Clarke'Extraordinary . . . this kind of story is the reason science fiction exists in the first place.' Orson Scott Card Venus is an epic adventure, full of twists and turns and genuine surprises. It should easily be in the running for the highest awards. * Hartford Courant (Venus) * The science fiction author who will have the greatest effect on the world. * Ray Bradbury * 'The science fiction author who will have the greatest effect on the world.' Ray Bradbury
