Originally published in the e-zine M-BRANE (#5) this is a reprint.
After alien ships have invaded the human territories, destroying planets and sending the survivors fleeing to Earth, the Terran government orders the refugees to settle a new planet. One that has just been terraformed.
Jeff Koenig, one of the few survivors from the Delious system, leads a team of scientists to the planet Dauphin to rebuild his life. They have 70 days until the ship returns with the first wave of colonists, but from Day 1 everything goes wrong.
As the days count down, the colonists watch the skies and pray that the Hurluk won't find them, or Earth, before they are rescued.

Meh, only ok. Things happened, plot moves along, but it never quite culminates into anything.

Left me wanting more. This is a short story but it feels very much like an excerpt from a longer work. The characters are developed, their dilemma feels real and the story moves along at a great pace. I'm off to get more of Lianna's SF!

An interesting treatment that suceeds in fitting a much larger story into a short story framework. As each segment build upon the last I grew to thinking of them as recovered Log Files from a potentially corrupted recorder.
