The surface of Venus is the most hellish place in the solar system - it's ground hot enough to melt aluminum, its air pressure high enough to crush spacecraft landers like tin cans, it's atmosphere a choking mix of poisonous gases. This is where the frail young Van Humphries must go—or die trying.
Years before, Van’s older brother perished in the first attempt to land a man on Venus. Van’s father has always hated him for being the one to survive. Now, his father is offering a $10-billion prize to the first person who lands on Venus and returns his oldest son’s remains. To everyone’s surprise, Van takes up the offer. But what Van Humphries will find on Venus will change everything—our understanding of Venus, of global warming on Earth, and his knowledge of who he is.

Any additional comments?
I can hardly wait to download the next book by Ben Bova! This is by far the best I have read/listened to since Sir Arthur C. Clarke's works. Just cannot get enough. The Mars series was also fantastic, as was the Sam Gunn Omnibus. The narration is exquisite.Absolutely loved this Audiobook!

Would you consider the audio edition of Venus: The Grand Tour Series to be better than the print version?
Didn't read print version, so N/A.What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)
It was not unexpected, but not so predictable as to be trite. Bova generally does a good job at wrapping things up nicely, and this story is no exception.What does Stefan Rudnicki bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
Stefan owns the Bova characters, and this one is particularly well rendered. His accents, emotions and rawness are always impressive.If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
Something to do with Lucifer.Any additional comments?
This story continues the Bova/Rudnicki tradition of author and performer working as a team. If you enjoyed the other offerings in the Planet series, this one will entertain you. It works as a free standing story as well, however.Recommended.
Someone turn on the air conditioning please...
