Why is the world experiencing stronger storms, colder winters, hotter summers, floods in one area and drought in another? Where we are headed?
Could it have happened before, not on earth but on another planet? Mars once had an atmosphere and oceans, but did you know that Venus did too? Mars lost its atmosphere and water due to a collision with an object larger than our moon. That is not what happened on Venus. Once a beautiful planet like earth, it became a lifeless desert forever due to runaway greenhouse effect.
This is the story of Victoria Campos, a young scientist who found proof that when Venus was hospitable to life, it did develop life—intelligent life. Venusians developed an advanced civilization, but their industries pushed the greenhouse effect over the edge. Realizing it was too late to save themselves, they sent a coded message to earth telling who they were and how they doomed their planet.
We have that message! This is the story of Victoria, eager to share that message with the world, but the world not eager to hear it. Big business uses any means to stop her. Narrowly escaping murder, she is abducted to a foreign country by forces she does not understand. Giving up all pretense of her scientific past she takes on a life as a barmaid on an exotic island. She is safe at least for a while, but nobody knows where the message is.
Victoria is caught between those who want to silence her, those who want to get her story out, and a mysterious third force who has the message. They found it contains amazing technological information and are using it to take over the world, but at what price?
