      Thank you for posting this. I am a big Arthur C Clarke fan and had never heard of it, and my google-fu turned up nothing.

      ‘Venus Prime’ is the way the novelizations were branded and marketed starting with the first book ‘Breaking Strain’ in 1987.

      As you can see from the cover image, it was an early example of the ‘hot babe with powers’ marketing approach.
