    About this ebook

    In this character-driven short science fiction story, a family in a dying space ship is responsible for delivering a vaccine to a colony on Jupiter's moon Europa. Without the vaccine, 5,000 souls could be wiped out. But the ship is hit by a meteor before it gets there. The resulting dilemma creates heroes out of ordinary people.

      I came fully awake as I sat up and cracked my head on the thwart of my upturned canoe. The pain cleared my head. I felt under my bedroll for my knife, hoping I hadn’t made enough noise to attract the attention of whatever—whoever?—had waked me. I did

      What was that? asked Val's mother, Debra.

      Probably just routine maneuvers, said Val's father, Simon. His worried face betrayed his words.

      Val's mother stared through the porthole at Jupiter's looming orb. It looks like we're going backwards.

      We are going backwards, Mom, said Val.
