Publisher's summary

The Stunning conclusion to the Venus Ascendant series, from the world of The Quantum Magician.

George-Étienne and his children have formed The House of Styx, after finding a mysterious artefact on the surface of Venus herself. But with the discovery comes great risk, not only from a planet that kills with its very touch but also from the banks and powers of old Earth, who will stop at nothing to claim this new technology for themselves. From humble origins, The House of Styx is determined to become one of the most powerful families in the known galaxy or die trying.

Hard sci-fi meets phenomenal character development

Once again, the author brings together a natural world, a theoretical world, and a different social order to both engross the listener or reader and make them think.

Well-written, and transporting for the listener. Just fantastic. Balancing marginalized people and how they contribute against a "when do we eat grandma?" level of survival need in a failing colony on a hostile planet.

checks a box

I cannot stand the narrator's breathless style. Maybe she was struggling to breathe in the slight wisps of plot that drifted by in the otherwise hot dense unbreathable atmosphere of this book. Now we know the back story of the Venusian Congregate. Check.

Reader ruins it.

an interesting origin story for the congregate. but the reader ruins it with the odd breathless pausing.
