I received the following request for a book without title or author:
“Sci fi book I read in the 60s as a kid, in which there is a interplanetary war involving Venus, Mars, and Pluto. Each planet has developed unique weapons that they use on each other. I believe Venus had the ability to cut into other planets with some weapon, while Pluto developed a more defensive strategy of being able to move the planet out of its usual orbit using some kind of planetary drive. I don't recall author or name of book.”
I found the following which promises to be a close match: Arthur C. Clarke's Earthlight. There is an Interplanetary war over energy resources, fought with super-weapons in this sci-fi novella. An expanded novel was published in 1955 under the same title. There is Earth and Venus and Federation, which includes Mars and the outer planets. But I’m not sure if that would be the book bc I have not read it.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks,
Loanis
