50km Up

Would you risk your life to create a better future for your children?
Professor Zankoku did, and his family paid the price.
He’s been dead for twenty-two years, but that’s not stopping him.
Climate change has been stalled, but society is at a tipping point with a horde of new terrorist groups emerging from the chaos. Profiting from that chaos is the Consortium. If they cannot bribe or blackmail you, then perhaps you will meet the twins. They delight in death and want to hear you scream.
After a terrorist bomb takes out a shuttle full of colonist, it’s decided that an international team of just twenty-one people will be sent to start the colonization of Venus. However, it’s not all doom, gloom and gore.
Meet the Bravo brothers, always up for a challenge and an occasional brawl. They keep the medics busy and the crew entertained. Big Ted is chief of security and will be the first geologist to explore the surface of Venus. There is just one problem. He’s afraid of heights and no one told him that the colony would be floating 50km above the planet’s surface.
Far below, a dense cloud deck is illuminated by diffused sunlight filtering through the thick acidic atmosphere. Lightning ripples through the clouds, generating soft subsonic booms that cause the transparent walkway you’re standing in to vibrate. The view is fantastic from 50km up, but the job could kill you.
A grand space adventure, sprinkled with humour and seasoned with a touch of gore.

You have arrived at the Venus colony. You are a long way from home but not alone. Far below, a dense cloud deck is illuminated by diffused sunlight filtering through the thick acidic atmosphere. Lightning ripples through the clouds, generating soft subsonic booms that cause the transparent walkway you‘re standing in to vibrate. The view is fantastic from 50km up, but the job could kill you.

Fritz envisioned a robotic suit that could explore the surface of Venus. He grinned as he did a quick sketch of how it would look. It would be glorious!

Ted looked at the sketch and tried not to laugh. It looked like an egg from a cartoon where the chick‘s legs and wings were poking out of the shell.
