The House of Styx
by Derek Künsken
"Künsken has a wonderfully ingenious imagination." –Adam Roberts, LocusLife can exist anywhere. And anywhere there is life, there is home.In the swirling clouds of Venus, the families of la colonie live on floating plant-like trawlers, salvaging what they can in the fierce acid rain and crackling storms. Outside is dangerous, but humankind's hold on the planet is fragile and they spend most of their days simply surviving.But Venus carries its own secrets, too. In the depths, there is a wind that shouldn't exist.And the House of Styx wants to harness it."Technology changes us—even our bodies—in fundamental ways, and Kunsken handles this wonderfully" –Cixin Liu on The Quantum Magician
