An influential classic of power and revenge on Venus

Like Kallocain, which I covered in episode 188, Fury is another SF novel which was published earlier than my usual jurisdiction - the 1950s to the 1990s. Written by Henry Kuttner and an uncredited C. L. Moore, it is a classic of the so-called "golden age of science fiction", a term I'd personally consign to history.

As we'll see, Fury is focused on a highly driven antihero on a transformative mission of revenge on a habitable Venus, the last refuge of humans who have ruined the Earth. Its legacy lives on in the various works which have been influenced by it, not least novels by Alfred Bester and Harry Harrison.
