In the near distant future, a powerful female dictator, Catherine the Great, sets out to leave a legacy matching her ego. Spanning thousands of years, she determines to turn Venus into a garden planet. But not all gardens are safe for people. Along with her loyal, ruthless robot, she embarks on the multi-generational quest. She knows she will never see the completion of the project. She must entrust its completion to her robot legate, but even the robot will not survive to oversee the end of the project. A bioengineered shield can cool the planet, but only for long enough for the first settlers on Venus to finish the job of firing the triad, mountain sized rockets which must move the planet to a stable orbit before the shield fails. The first settlers make it to the surface, but then everything starts to go wrong. Several generations later, the stories of earth seem like a fantasy. The society of Venus has split into three incompatible, but interdependent groups. On earth people have almost forgotten the effort to settle Venus. And then something unexpected happens to bring the two groups together. But the surface of the partially terraformed planet is too hot for the humans of earth and their life on the planet will be measured in days, but without them all life on Venus will be lost. On Venus, a strange object appears in the sky and the adventure begins. You are looking in the wrong direction to settle a planet. Don't look at Mars, look to Venus
