Title: Boring, predictable Bova cookie-cutter plot
Product review: The plot of Venus is very predictable. The Characters are all paper-thin and even the descriptions of Venus and the science of being there is nothing better than what can be found in a book that focuses on planetary astronomy.If you want to read Bova's Tour 0f the Solar System series, then Venus is a required read. If you are looking for Hard SF that will make you think, go read Stephen Baxter, Gregory Benford or Greg Bear. This book will disappoint.
