About this book

Tornado Onwubiko is one of seven people selected to pair with sentient ships and explore space for twenty million euros. The mission requires a decade of solitary life in exchange for lifetime wealth. Five years into the ten-year period of total isolation, Tornado and the other travelers meet temporarily for a week—a brief respite that proves life-changing. This short story examines solitude and its meaning through the experience of someone who left an ordinary life behind for cosmic exploration. It is part of The Far Reaches, a collection of science-fiction stories that can be read or listened to in one sitting.
