The war between Earth and its moon is finally over. Now comes the harder task: learning to live and build humanity’s future together. Commodore Julia Kessler, an experienced fleet officer, is chosen to lead the first joint interstellar expedition. Her mission is simple: keep the peace, keep the peace, grow potatoes on a dead rock, and keep the peace. Under the dusty skin of this desolate planet, her colonists uncover something impossible. Something valuable enough to threaten the fragile trust they’ve only just begun to rebuild. And Earth’s uneasy neighbors might not be the only ones interested in what they’ve found. Regular Schedule: Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays.2500-3500 words per chapter.
