This was a great little story about a spaceship crashing into a new planet and finding people who found the planet long before and made a home there with the native floral and fauna.

I really liked the main character and their journey in this short story. Made me want a full length version beyond this little snippet.

Loved, loved, loved this short story! I would definitely read an entire series about this world. I will admit I had to reread a paragraph at one point when I realized there was something else going on with Msizi, beyond the illness. The story had some real surprises in it. The best surprise was in how the author provided a lovely acknowledgement and sense of closure for a character who is grieving and can't let go. Such a satisfying ending...

Another good one, the most sci-fi by far. I was not expecting the twist near the end.

An Amazon Original Short story. Science Fiction . The main characters travel to a distant planet. However it's not as alien as expected. I wish this were a full novel. I enjoyed it, left me wanting more. I'll have to check out more from this author.
