About This Book

Two fugitives escape an interplanetary prison on a steaming Venusian island and push through jungle and hostile terrain toward legendary pearl-beds whose treasures can buy freedom. One companion supplies brute Jovian strength and heightened senses while the other provides cunning and planning; together they evade guards, river beasts, and chameleon natives. Their tense collaboration carries them through ambushes, subterfuge, and perilous crossings, but reaching the ritual contest to claim a precious pearl tests alliances, exposes competing motivations, and ultimately determines who will secure the coveted prize.
