About This Book

A small group of aging crewmen aboard a long-range starship confronts the bitter irony of yearning for the planet they can no longer live on. After an attempted homecoming triggers intense allergic reactions to Earth's air and plants, one member continues to tend geraniums affixed to the hull in a cumbersome suit while the others relive the failed landing, alternating between nostalgia, bitterness, and quiet ritual. The story probes isolation, memory, and the psychological cost of prolonged exile.
