"This is a love story, the last of a series of moments when we meet."

Dr. Saki Jones arrives at the colony planet New Mars to find that a mysterious plague has destroyed everyone who lived there--including her lifelove, M.J. To find out what happened, Saki must dig through layers of time, slowly revealing the past. The result is a bittersweet story of aliens and human exploration; mystery and memory; and, of course, love.

Includes a new, never-before-published story, "Flowers in the Chronicle," set in the same world.
