Book Description

TWO PLANETS * EIGHT STORIES * ONE TRUTH A collection of stories from our sister planet Ever since residents of Earth have been aware of other planets, they have believed that the planet Venus is uninhabitable. Deep-space analyses have revealed that Venus, though identical to Earth in size and shape, is an entirely unlivable planet. Its terrain is dusty and barren, and its surface reaches temperatures of 480° Celsius. But unknown to anyone on Earth... This information is completely wrong. Venus is home to an advanced race of scientifically-minded humanoids who have spent millennia engaged in experiments and technological discoveries. And they have more than a passing interest in their neighbor planet, Earth, because... Venusians are responsible for life on Earth. Venus itself is a planet of long days and nights. A year on Venus is made up of just under two Venus days, and its six seasons include a volcano season and a season when acid rain falls continuously. The Venusians are constantly experimenting, both on their own planet and on Earth. In Twin Earth Anthology, you will read tales of strange wild beasts, adventure, domed communities, friendship, secret experiments, and self-discovery. Written for preteens and teens, the stories in this book will delight, amaze, and provoke thought. 8 FABULOUS STORIES 50 Days of Rain -- Caitlin L. McCulloch Rescued -- Chelsea E.
