I particularly liked the first one, which was basically just Death Note but written fifty years earlier.<\/p>\n<p>Ballard is a master of speculative fiction, and that\u2019s the best way to describe what we have here. There\u2019s a decent smattering of science fiction, but to call this a sci-fi book would be to do it a disservice because it\u2019s much more than that. Instead, it\u2019s an intellectual exercise and an excellent examination of what makes people tick but with some unusual plots thrown in for good measure. Lots to like!<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/book\/show\/1243394.The_Venus_Hunters?ac=1&amp;from_search=true&amp;qid=m74YAIrjZL&amp;rank=1\">Learn more about The Venus Hunters.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t<br class=\"clear\"\/>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Title: The Venus Hunters Author: J.
