Why This Must Be Read: Does a ship have a soul? Can it remember a fifty-year time bubble and retain the echoes of what never really happened?
In this beautifully crafted story, Aurora Novarum populates the Odyssey, post-Unending, with a fascinating cast of original characters. I always love when we get to see competent, intelligent personnel at the SGC beyond SG-1, and Brandon and his friends are everything I'd want. And as the intriguing mystery of visions and voices unfolds, you, too, will join Brandon in trying to unravel the truth about what once happened on the ship and the ghosts who exist in potential memory.
Bittersweet, powerful, and astonishingly real, you'll find yourself caring for these characters and hoping their journey to the stars will last for a long, long time.
Brandon watched his friend eat for a moment. Tommy tended to have a pulse on anything rumor related and a basic knack for picking out patterns. "Tommy, what have you heard about Deck Five? I mean, specifically?"
Tommy raised his eyebrows. "Why, did something happen down there?"
Brandon shrugged. Sailor superstition kept him from actually voicing his experience about the disembodied laugh and shadow of a man who he'd seen walk the halls. "I dunno. Just, that whole thing during orientation I guess, and..."
"You mean the ghosts?" Tommy leaned back, quirking a smile. "That stuff about Emerson was a complete load of b.s. The bridge crew is really sensitive about it, but there's nothing on the deck."
"Strange how these stories get started, isn't it? I wonder if that's how things happened on Deck Five? You ever hear anything happening with the crew down there?"
"Why would I have heard?" Tommy asked between bites of garlic bread. In response, Brandon only looked at him.
"Okay, okay. I do hear things. But..." Tommy stopped chewing for a moment, thinking back. "I don't recall hearing anything in particular happening in that area of the ship. Do you want me to ask around?"
Brandon poked at his food, shredding his muffin paper in the process. "Uh, it's not that important, I guess. More curiosity than anything. I mean, looks like I'm spending a lot of time down there. Be nice to know the history."
Tommy's eyes widened. "You saw something freaky."
"I was just trying to figure out what the deal was with these stories. There has to be a reason they've cropped up."
