A Columbus of Space by Garrett P. Serviss ~ Full Audiobook [scifi]

A Columbus of Space by Garrett P. Serviss audiobook.

Genre: scifi

Edmund Stonewall is a quiet, brilliant eccentric whose true obsession is not wealth or fame, but the outer limits of human possibility. When he finally invites a few friends from his New York club circle - including the bold, joking Jack Ashton and the sharper-edged Henry Darton - into his private workshop, he unveils an astonishing vehicle: a compact air-and-space car driven by controlled inter-atomic power. What begins as a demonstration turns into an irrevocable voyage beyond Earth, as Stonewall and his companions are carried toward Venus with no clear map, no rescue, and only Stonewall's nerve and ingenuity to keep them alive. On Venus they find a world divided between burning sunlight and permanent night, with strange landscapes, brutal hazards, and societies shaped by extremes of climate and time. Misunderstandings, rivalries, and the problem of communicating across species and culture quickly become as dangerous as any creature in the shadows. As the travelers struggle to repair their fragile advantage and choose whom to trust, the dream of discovery becomes a test of character: what does it mean to be a 'Columbus of space' when the new world is already inhabited?
