The Venus Wars

Some time in the not too distant future, mankind has colonized Venus. After terraforming the planet to make the temperatures bearable and the air breathable, settlers seeking a life better than that on Earth came. But, as with Earth, not everything goes as planned. Life on Venus is hard, and the people there pass the time on watching a violent sport that works like a cross between a motorbike race and football. Hiro is just another one of the players, but when a neighboring nation invades his home country, he and his teammates decide to do their best to help out the homeland. Meanwhile, a reporter visiting from Earth, Susan Sommers, is reporting on the war and hunting for a Pulitzer. But, war isn't as simple or clean as it first seems to either of them.
