Across the Zodiac
Authorship not stated
You have solved apergy, the force that will carry a sealed vessel across empty space, and tonight you seal yourself inside it alone — once the hull closes, no one on Earth can correct your arithmetic. Thirty-nine days later you land on a Martian plateau and are taken in by Esmo, a host who shields your secret from a suspicious Regent while teaching you his ordered language. Esmo's daughter Eveena calls you guest first, then goes exploring alone and ends clinging to a ledge after the path collapses under her.
