Sojourner

Book Two in the Empire Saga, stand alone short story, prequel to Nehemiah, LLC. Mark and Michelle sink everything they have, everything friends and family could invest, in the giant gas-collection balloon ship Sojourner Now it is a simple matter of surviving to suction a full load of Methane from Titan. Massive gas storms, a tiny life pod that might not keep them from freezing, and the looming shadow of government seizure of ship and cargo "for the greater good" might interfere with their sleep even more than equipment failure, loneliness, and sleep deprivation.
