Venusworld Vol. 3: In Velvet Fog
by William Barton, 316,000 words
Six years have passed during the course of Crimson Darkness and White Sea Crossings as Alendar Vexh-nem travels the world, gradually growing into his role as ruler of the fragmented Antimony Empire, and leader of the steadily expanding world war against the Klarists and their mysterious leader, Infinitarian. In concert with his circle of friends and the Koran Maru alliance, he begins the task of summoning a world to war and maintaining a tenuous technological lead over an implacable enemy who would kill them all and destroy the civilization they represent.
Now, having fled the Lost Continent of Italkor, Alendar heads for the vast, populous southern landscape of Ahamia, where he will join the White Queen Reza, green-skinned Princess Zzaine, the hulking sailor Kohmna of Zuhr, Gnzl the Blue Man, Attina the Cat and a host of others as they explore ancient ruins and hidden cities in a quest for old secrets that may give them a crucial edge over the Klarists, as well as a sneaky trick that may help win the war without firing a shot.
Wish them luck!
Warning, this book is not for the faint of heart:
1. There is strong sexual content, and intense scenes of military conflict.
2. It requires sufficient commitment from the reader to learn and interpret a special vocabulary drawn from the native languages of the people in the book.
Genre: Science Fiction
