Description:Hophnia, Leo, and Salvio made it to Mars, and now await transport to Earth. Meanwhile, Hophnia wonders if her father is still on Mars, and if she should reconnect. Though distracted, she leads Leo and Salvio in setting up their biotech company. But family surprises and the ghosts of 2053 have other plans. AND NOW FOR AN EXCERPT!Indigenous TravelsInland Northwest, USA. 2059I pushed off with my left leg, gritty stone pressing briefly into my bare foot. I scissored my legs freely in the air, my back arched. The hot sun on my face and heat radiating from the rocks behind me blew away as I gained speed. My black, waist-length braids tugged upward at my scalp. I hit the cool August surface of Lake Coeur d’Alene, the cheers of my friends silenced by the thwump of water closing over my head, and the cute little gurgling of bubbles racing their zigzags back to the surface. Crossing my arms on my shoulders, I made sure my swimsuit hadn’t slipped. But rather than kick to the surface, I stroked out from the shore, two meters down. Light played in shifty shafts, trying vainly to reach the bottom. The water brushed past me, massaging away the heat of the sun and sparkling off the sticky sweat. I bent at the waist and kicked my legs up to follow the light down, hitting the thermocline of frigid water that made me want to gasp. Dark down here. Timeless. Or could be if my lungs wouldn’t burn. The cold, the silence, the lake. Underneath, I couldn’t help but think of winter and ice ages and my ancestors. Ten thousand years of my culture existed here. How many lifetimes was that? How many generations? How many more breaths could I skip before I had to surface?With the smooth pebbles of the shore under my feet, I took in the whole of the lake. In a few months, the kokanee salmon would come here to spawn and then wash up on shore, their life spent. The bald eagles would come from the sky to fill the trees and clean up the kokanee. Predating my people by who knew how long, the life of the lake made me wish I’d been a pre-Columbian girl. But the sky did not. Past its blue, as the lake getting darker and colder, the expanse of space was waiting. And that part of my culture called with the loudest cry. To explore.So I'd spend this last summer day with my friends. One last evening with my family. Tomorrow, a starship would be waiting, and so would the solar system.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
