Space is Cold

Space is cold.

It’s a fact drilled into little heads during those first colorful lessons about the solar system.  Those lessons with the spinning planets and the bright orange Sun are meant to stick with a child long into adulthood.  Space is cold, the teacher always says.

Except when it isn't.  "The Universe is filled with exceptions to known constants”, a different teacher says, many years later. Space is cold unless you are being cooked in the radiation from a star. Then space is not cold, it is burning you from the inside out.


Space, Maggie thinks, is a lot like love.

Just a few thoughts from the head of Maggie O'Connell.  She's out there, right now, exploring the universe, making new friends and hunting old enemies.  You'll see her in the next book, I promise! (If you haven't read about Maggie's first (published) adventure, go check-out Dremiks )
