Breath Of Life (The Gaian Consortium Series) - Plot & Excerpts
However, that’s little consolation when you’re stuck on a rock light-years from where you were born, scrabbling to make enough to keep your homestead going and maybe put enough aside so that you’ll get something a little fancier than a plain plastic box when it’s time for you to depart this mortal coil. Homesteading on Lathvin IV sounded great on paper, I guess. At least, my parents went for it as a way of escaping our subterranean existence on Gaia’s moon, and my older sister Libba and I couldn’t do much except just go along for the ride. She was the lucky one, anyway—she’s two years older than I, and got a full scholarship to the university at Epsilon Eridani, and so she bailed out at the first opportunity. By then we were all heartily sick of the constant need for breathing equipment every time we wanted to go outside, and the faint chugging sound of the atmospheric generator, which filtered through all our waking hours and our sleeping ones as well. I used to have nightmares about being trapped in the bowels of some enormous ship where all I could hear was that low-level boom boom boom.
