A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

It is the 20th 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.

Each wrote sections, starting where the other left off, and through long experience they developed an almost telepathic awareness of each other's intentions.
