Worlds Spinning Round: Part 2: Decisions

Mike Wallingford volunteered for a dangerous assignment, a diplomatic mission beneath the red-hot soil of Venus. Locked alone in a sealed container to reach a tunnel headquarters that is far more that in seems, Mike must brave heat, pressure, radiation and the suspicions of a native clan struggling for survival. Mike’s friend Ellen, bewildered by their recent encounter with the reclusive hill people and weakened by a mysterious illness, is devastated by Mike’s friend Ellen, bewildered by unexpected action. Neither suspects they are being cleverly manipulated. Back on Earth, a developing plot could leave the Venture project stranded without supplies or a way off the hostile planet.
