Wendy Edwards goes on a spur-of-the-moment sail on foggy Galveston Bay with her childhood friend, Bryan McClellan, and witnesses a boater toss a body overboard. As horrified as she is, she could never have guessed where the dreadful act would lead, but Kemah, Texas, the small coastal town where she has lived since birth, is smack in the middle of it. Meanwhile, the United States is close to crumbling, and domination by a globalized government is no longer a distant threat. Already wise to the menace, homegrown FURA members are holding their seventh summit in the area. Their mission is to protect the freedoms they still have while remaining focused on their vision for a new union of states. A member's son goes missing, and Bryan, who is also a member, gets Wendy involved. Together they dive an offshore petroleum platform in the Gulf of Mexico to find answers. Things heat up after a bloody knife turns up in their boat and results in Wendy's discovery of WORE. Then she learns of an unseen international force that has been using genetic warfare and propaganda for decades in order to create a subservient mutant population. As Wendy spends her forced vacation trying to figure out who dumped the body in the bay, she wears disguises, overhears of abhorrent acts, witnesses a murder, is chased, and things blow up, battles are fought, and more. And the bodies pile up. Wendy suspects a serial killer is on the loose, and her search eventually puts her in his sights. But he's not the only one after her. Wendy does everything she can to make sense of the rash of evil, and once she sees the big picture, she realizes it's not only a matter of her own survival but of the human race and man's ability to recognize the existence of God. Inspired by reality, Venus Over Kemah may spark anger at the abominations inflicted on mankind, give a few chuckles--perhaps a few tears--share the frustrations and warmth of a blossoming love, offer encouragement, and hopefully leave you cheering.
