| Plot Summary of Wildflower |
|---|
"Stranded on a frozen moon, two women come face-to-face with death--and life; a young boy whose mind is trapped in a strange box; a hunting expedition on a deadly world that turns into a twisted nightmare; the planet Preen, where assassination is the name of the game, and the man Fenn, the best at the trade- if only he could leave his conscience behind.… A melancholic and haunting collection, here are eleven offered slices of a dark tomorrow.
"
David Martin, Resident Scholar

"Dark and haunting, this is a collection of deeply moving stories that challenge our humanity, and our views of humanity's future."
Daniel, Resident Scholar
