Six men aboard the rocket Wanderer have crossed so much empty space that loneliness has become both their brother and their god. When at last they reach a world with living inhabitants, the hope of contact turns into a desperate hunger to know what manner of creatures dwell below, and the line between noble dreams and madness grows very thin.

A short, moody magazine story about the psychological cost of space travel, ideal for a single sitting. Download the free EPUB.
