    About this ebook

    Colonizing distant planets is a dangerous business, so when Lt. Sofia Ashworth wakes up in the Kepler Med Center alone and without her memory, she assumes the worst. Unfortunately, even her imagination can't prepare her for the truth.

    Stacy Bennett

    Like many young daydreamers, Stacy Bennett grew up in a quiet New Jersey suburb, reading classic sci/fi and fantasy books and dreaming of owning a horse. She spun stories in her head about the adventures she would have - if she had a horse, if she could fly an X-wing, if she could sing like a bird. Most of those stories remained daydreams, but a writer's favorite question is "what if." Now she writes down those imaginings and calls them novels.

      Mi Carino - Stacy Bennett

      I.

      When I woke from the black hole of sleep, it was the smell that hit me first. The familiar steel taint of bottled air sent a wash of déjà vu strangeness through me; and a tremor of fear. A persistent beeping nearby followed the pounding rhythm of my heart but I couldn’t place the source of the noise. I opened my eyes, squinting against the sterile white glow from the lighting modules overhead. Their cold light fell flatly off the beige curtains surrounding my bed. Or rather, my gurney.

      I was in the Med Center.

      Had I been sick? Perhaps there'd been an accident? That my confusion could be due to simple trauma was strangely comforting. 

      I called out softly, Hello? Anyone there?

      No one answered which was unsettling. Usually a hub of echoing activity, the large room beyond the curtains felt as empty as space itself. The beeping changed with my anxiety. It was then I noticed the panel of monitors behind my head. My name—Sofia G. Ashworth—flashed in bright red letters above an ever-changing display of numbers and graphs.

      I closed my eyes, probing the fuzzy blankness of my mind. No, not completely blank. Unsettling images lurked there; fragments that reminded me more of badly directed entertainment vids than memories.

      I dismissed them as nightmares, stress dreams. Nothing like that could actually have happened to us. 

      To us...

      I turned the phrase over in my mind, confused by it for a moment before I remembered Rob in a flash of clarity: Lieutenant Commander Robert H. Ashworth, leader of our expedition to Kepler. Rob, the most capable Interstellar Marine in the Ark Program. Rob, my too-good-to-be-true new husband.

      Then I remembered; Rob was dead.  Or so they'd told me.

      He can't be dead,
