Summary: "Venus Hate" by John McGreevey is a science fiction novel written in the early 1950s. The story is set on the inhospitable planet of Venus and revolves around themes of obsession, jealousy, and the harsh realities of life in a colonial outpost. It explores the complex dynamics between Earth men and Venusian women, particularly focusing on a tragic love triangle that ultimately leads to dire consequences. At the center of the narrative is Yancey Ritter, a prospector who dreams of fortune through the discovery of precious quolla stones. His life takes a dark turn when he brings Selo, a young Venusian woman, back to his isolated humidi-hut after forming a bond with her in Athens. As tensions rise between Yancey and Selo, a stranger named Brian Daniels enters the picture, igniting Yancey's jealousy and leading him down a path of betrayal. In a fit of desperation and rage, Yancey sabotages Brian’s chances for survival, believing this will secure his place with Selo. However, the actions he takes ultimately lead to his own demise, emphasizing the destructive power of obsession and the harshness of the environment around them. The book ends with a haunting question about fate and the consequences of human actions in an unforgiving world. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
