Falcon Fire

On colonial Venus, people who are susceptible to lies have been denigrated and barred from the citizenry.

Ancient dirigibles dock at the top of colossal towers to shunt people to and from underground cities.

Armies of enclosed, beetle-shaped biocrawlers creep around the planet providing a coveted, yet deficient, natural environment.

Colonists strive for an outdoor ecology to call their own, but terraforming is faltering.

There is growing unrest, and at the heart of this rift is Hix, a member of the Venusian underclass.

He has risen from the tenements to become a renowned film star, until he is accused of murder.

Neeva is destined to be Keeper, an esteemed protector of First Colony Heritage.

She is also an inspector assigned to Hix's case... and the victim happens to be her sister.

Hix and Neeva must find passage through the winds of change, or their people will be swept away forever.
