unusual facts about Paul Preuss



Brethren of the Free Spirit

The Brethren of the Free Spirit are the main antagonists of the science fiction trilogy Venus Prime by Arthur C. Clarke & Paul Preuss, in which the members believe that first contact between aliens from Crux and humanity should be with them only.
