Books Descriptions
An alternate cover edition can be found here.It is the 22nd Century, an
advertisement-drenched world in which the big ad agencies dominate
governments and everything else. Now Schoken Associates, one of the big
players, has a new challenge for star copywriter Mitch Courtenay. Volunteers are
needed to colonise Venus. It's a hellhole, and nobody who knew anything about
it would dream of signing up. But by the time Mitch has finished, they will be
queuing to get on board the spaceships.Biographical NotesPohl and Kornbluth
started writing together as early as 1940, although both authors produced a wide
variety of stories separately, under their own names and pseudonyms.Each
wrote sections, starting where the other left off, and through long experience
they developed an almost telepathic awareness of each other's intentions.
