'Cat-human hybrids on Venus face entrenched power dynamics and climate collapse as they try to set up a new society - but eventually must leave Venus altogether.' After the successful revolution described in book one: Luma ten two of the Catt, Luma and her team must set up a new society from scratch. But sixty years of oppression by the robotic Marsit from their floating city of Temmis, sixty kilometres up from the surface of Venus, have created old habits of hierarchy and power dynamics that Luma finds hard to shift. In their city of Sark, hanging below Temmis, she soon finds out that peace is harder to manage than war. Continual sabotage of her efforts but by older elements in Sark and by the Marsit make administrative life difficult. Just when it looks like a new stability is emerging, the decades-long terraforming efforts of the Marsit begin to create devastating climate change, tearing apart the new society and forcing an emergency return to Earth.
