| Publisher Description: Zyzz is a botany professor at a major university on Venus who gets drawn into a radical environmental group. He marries Zilla, one of his students, and they have two daughters. The group soon finds themselves in big trouble with the authorities as they draw attention to increasing evidence that Venus is in imminent danger, and propose solutions that run counter to the Establishment's interests. The government moves to quash the outcry, and arrests begin. Some radicals are banished to extra-Venusian penal colonies. As the planet's life-support system goes critical, difficult decisions must be made. How they resettle in their new home, and struggle to provide food and shelter for themselves amid hostile surroundings shows the strength of a family in transition. If this sounds familiar, and possible... it is - or could be. A Hundred Lifetimes allegorically brings attention to what could happen to our own lives as Earth's environmental crises deepen. |
