Beneath the rolling seas and deadly atmosphere of Venus will be the Keeps-fully enclosed cities that house descendants of the survivors who initial harbored atomic energy to escape a dying globe. In massive superstructures built beneath the Venusian seas, a complex feudal culture devoted only to decadence offers progressed. Presiding over that culture are Immortals-genetic throwbacks towards the mutant atomic survivors. While the society is steady, the stability will only lead to its destruction, as well as the about Fury severe environment outside the Keeps is usually malevolent and encroaching.

Born involved with it all is Sam Harker, son of an Immortal and the thing of his father’s disdain after his mom perished during childbirth. Sam is normally subjected to remedies which stunt his growth and leave him hairless, and he’s exiled through the society from the Immortals and set within the tumultuous path of the rebel’s life-one inspired by hatred and a desire to have vengeance within the society.

Sam’s search for revenge and his great abilities help to make him more powerful than the more decadent residents from the Helps to keep … and perhaps even more powerful than the Immortals themselves. He seeks mass appeal like a politician in a marketing campaign that assaults culture. It isn’t until everything is certainly destroyed-that is certainly, in the aftermath of destruction-that the reclamation of individual destiny is a good remote possibility.
