    About this ebook

    Join an international crew as they ferry their commercial space station to an enigmatic anomaly in Mars' orbit. Here our solar system touches the Helios star system, a portal that was discovered decades ago and may be lost.
    Harry joined the mission to escape loneliness on Earth and to indulge his obsession for gardening in space. He finds relationships grow like gardens, though not always as expected. Tensions flare among the crew, threatening their mission.
    Along their journey, they mine a dangerous comet and visit the small colony on Mars. Things don’t go as planned and the crew must act to save their mission and their lives.
    A story combining adventure with life aboard a space station.
