Currently reading 'The Sky People' by S. M. Stirling.
It ain't brilliant - I've just passed half way, and it's about good enough to keep me going to the end.
It's an interesting premise (Venus is habitable, and inhabited by various exotic species when Earthmen arrive - cue rehash of classic SF pulp adventure yarn). But the general characterisation is lacking - people 'chuckle' and 'grin' a lot for no apparent reason, and I'm finding the main protagonist irritating.
