I am going to recommend this to my daughter who is a big mythology fan. The fact that sci-fi and history are mixed in makes it sound even more appealing. I’m very curious how he mixes religion with mythology and definitely how the French Revolution comes in. Congrats on Book of the Day!

Using a variety of "Venuses" is definitely an interesting way to tie a bunch of unrelated stories together. It definitely makes this compilation sound interesting.

In sampling this book, it did seem like a very creative compilation of stories about Venus in different capacities. This is obviously one of the author's passions. Thank you for your take on this unique read, and congrats on BOTD.

I do like the idea that the book is centered around Venus. I also like historical fiction but I'm not sure this book is for me, so I'll have to pass.

Today's book of the day sounds like a historical fiction/sci-fi book. I would like to know more about the planet, Venus but I'm not fan of book with many pages. Congrats on being the #BOTD!

"Star Bright" by A. F. Carcirieri, Jr. An interesting historical fiction story, the author has a lot of passion for history which compelled him to write the book. This book is a compilation of similar stories in one. Each chapter has it's own part of story to be read and the author did a great job in his book been straightforward and understandable. Congrats on your #BOTD.

It's interesting how planet Venus is included in a fictional story, that makes it more relatable because we observe stars from time to time in at night. And for that reason every time we look up and see Venus after having read this story, we will be reminded of it. It's a must read.

Based on the reviewer this book is a good read and would be great for persons who love history. The book provides insight into Lucifer's rebellion against God... About Venus and life. :eusa-think: :eusa-think:

Seems quite interesting. I believe Venus' significance is extraordinary. What is her roles in these intriguing stories? Also, as you mentioned, each chapter is a different story. I'd love to know how many chapters are contained in this book and pick my best. Beautiful review.

I am curious about this book as the author’s viewpoint seems original and fresh. Taking characters from history and connecting them together by a planet, or a Goddess of love, actually, sounds interesting. Thank you for your lovely review!
