Blue lightning, red clouds, searing heat and a dwindling water supply: just a typical day on Spiral.
Jessa watches the monitors daily, waiting for the return of the ice ship. Her family died in the last water rationing crisis--and she longs for good news to share with the colony this time.
The ice ship's mission lasts six more months. But of course, Jessa looks anyway--just in case.
The stand-alone sequel to Brooks' short story Seventy, for everyone who wants to believe in hope.
